Being a Food lover, my husband has been very experimental in his cooking. Last year when I was down with fever, he made this simple dish with Rasam and I literally felt blessed for this skill of his. During Fever, the taste in our mouth feels bland or bitter and you feel don’t have an appetite too. Rasam with almost piping hot but mashed rice and this curry for a change made me feel so better. Nimmakaya Pachadi/Lemon Pickle with a little ghee is another savior during this time. This recipe is a very simple one but do not add too much of Potato(Aloo/Bangaladumpa) while cooking for someone who is down with fever as it may cause indigestion.
The recipe is as follows ,try and let me know your opinions and suggestions.
Preparation time : 20 Minutes
Cooking Time : 15 Minutes
Ingredients :
- French Beans( or just beans) : 250 gms
- Potato : 1 medium sized potato chopped into small cubes
- Turmeric Powder
- Mustard seeds
- Cumin seeds
- Amchur Powder : 1 tbsp
- Salt to Taste
- Lemon : 1 medium sized lemon
Recipe :
- Wash the beans and potato thoroughly and chop them into small uniformly sized pieces.
- Add a pinch of turmeric and boil both beans and potato in a pressure cooker. This way the curry will take very less oil and is cooked properly.
- Once they are boiled, in a heated pan add 2 tbsp of oil and add mustard and cumin seeds and wait till they splutter.
- Now add Beans and potato and mix the vegetables so that oil sticks to all the chopped veggies.
- Add salt as required and Amchur powder or raw mango powder as per your taste.
- Switch off the stove and mix all the ingredients of the pan well.
- Add lemon juice to the curry and mix well and shift the contents of the pan into a bowl.
Things to Note :
Do not add the lemon juice when the stove is on, as this might make the curry taste a little bitter.
