Kandula Kura

Kandula Kura is one of my most favorite gravies that Amma makes during the season. Fresh Toor is mostly available during the winter season and as always, every winter we see these fresh tender beans being cooked in different ways.

This masala gravy made with simple spices tastes awesome with Kobari Annam or Coconut Milk Rice. As always, we have quite a few ways of making the same ingredient in different ways to beat the monotony.

I have already shared another version of Fresh beans Masala Kurma. This is yet another simple way of making this.
When it comes to the everyday meal, I sometimes don’t add garam masala to all the gravies. Even ginger garlic is added very little to bring out the star ingredient to shine. This gravy is something my kids love and this plate, minus the Munagaku Vepudu was my kids’ favorite meal.

On the plate, it was Kandulu Kur with Kobari Paal Annam, which will be coming up soon.

Many years ago, during our yearly visit to my SIL’s house, we visited a farm where Fresh Toor was grown. We had great fun exploring these crops.

Sending this to my Kid’s Delight event, guest hosted by Sandhya, this month themed on Family Recipes.
