New! (24day) Lima Beans Curry

I love a good Indian dish, so when I found this recipe I was so happy to have most of the ingredients however, I made a couple adjustments and this is my version for you. If you are currently on a challenge make sure to add a side salad of fresh ingredients! Fresh is best! 





Ingredients:
Baby Lima beans - 1 can or cup of frozen lima beans   
1 can of tomato sauce
Onion - 1 chopped
Tomato - 2 (crushed or pureed) I blended mine with my cuisinart hand mixer 
Ginger Powder 1/2 tsp

Minced Garlic 1/2 tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp 
Chili powder -1/2 tsp 

curry
Salt - to taste 
Oil - 1 tsp 


Directions:

Wash the beans and cook them with water and salt until the beans become tender. I do this in a safe microwave dish and cook them for about 5 min in water. If left longer, the beans will become mushy. Once done leave it to the side and prepare the rest. 

Heat oil in a pan and fry the chopped onions until they become translucent. 
Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce along with Ginger Powder and Garlic cook for 5 minutes till everything blends and forms a nice masala
Add turmeric powder, chili powder, curry powder and salt, saute for a minute. 

Now add the cooked lima beans along with the water in which the beans was cooked.
Let the soup simmer for 5-10 minutes until everything blends together, mixing occasionally 
then garnish with a bit of parsley or cilantro
