Simple white kidney beans with mushroom

Now, most of us Maharashtrians must be tired of chawli/white kidney beans usal, Tam Brams must be tried of the usual karamani sambar or sundal. I thought of trying out something new with Chawli that you can carry in your lunch box on any ordinary day.

You will need -

Soak and steamed chawli - 1 1/2 cup

Diced onion - 2 small

150gm mushrooms cleaned and chopped

Cinnamon - 2 inch stick

Pepper and salt to taste

Soak one cup of chawli/karamani/white eyed beans overnight.

Pressure cook it the till they soften.

In a pan, add some oil and cinnamon. Then add the onions. Add half a teaspoon sugar.

Let the onions turn transparent.

You can now add the mushrooms and saute till they are just about soft. You can shut the pan and let it cook for about a couple of minutes.

Finally add the chawli and salt and pepper to taste. Add a little water depending on how dry or gravy like you like your roti accompaniment.

Simple and tastes really good with hot rotis with ghee on top or with cold rotis in your dabba.
