Spicy Bean Duo

It is not Chili weather in Texas right now, but this afternoon, I set out to prepare a dish with beans, corn and tomatoes. I wanted the dish to emulate a warm salsa and I wanted it to be spicy.

After some deliberations, I came up with a new recipe - Spicy Bean Duo!

Ingredients:
Diced Tomatoes - 1 large can
Sweet Corn - 1 can
Black beans - 1 can
White/Navy beans - 1 can
Onions - 2 diced
Sambar powder - 3 Tbsp
Sesame seed oil - 3 Tbsp
Garnish: chopped curry leaves and cilantro

Preparation:
  1. In a sauce pan, heat-up the oil. Add the onions and brown them slightly.
  2. Add the sambar powder, beans, corn and tomatoes. Cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Add salt to taste and garnish with cilantro and the chopped curry leaves.
    Bon appetit' :)

    1. I best this would also taste divine with a dash of lemon or lime juice squeezed on top! Looks good!
