How to Make Beans And Bamboo Shoots

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of mustard oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2-3 dried red chilies and fry until dark brown (about 1 minute).
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until light brown (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 inch ginger (grated), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Fry for 1 minute on low heat, stirring constantly.
  5. Add 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced, to the onion mixture. Sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  6. If the mixture starts to stick, sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of water.
  7. Add 1 cup soaked beans (any type, such as kidney or black beans), 1 cup bamboo shoots (sliced), 1 medium tomato (chopped), ½ cup plain yogurt, and 1 cup vegetable broth to the potato mixture.
  8. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  10. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro before serving.
  11. Serve hot with steamed rice or roti.
