TinglaAvrya Teppla Ambat - White Beans Curry

Tingala Avre is a Mangalore Store Delicacy for it's not available at any grocer in Mumbai. Even at Mangalore Stores, you will get it only when it's in season. So when I got these beans, I made two types of curries. I have already blogged the garlic flavored Bendi, so now I am blogging Teppal/Tirphal flavored curry.
