Sharing this Recipe of Ayee my Mother-in-law from whom I learned this recipe. This is a Konkani Recipe. She prepared it for us back when she had come to USA. I just loved the taste of Red Chori beans ( which is called Bagde in our Konkani). These sprouted beans are very healthy and rich in fiber thats why this is my families favorite. Papa ( My father in law loves this curry too so does my husband, so this side dish is a favorite of my entire family😊 

Red chori, also known as adzuki beans, are small, oval, dark-reddish brown beans. They have a strong, unusually sweet flavor and creamy texture. Adzuki beans are linked to several health benefits, ranging from heart health and weight loss to improved digestion and a lower risk of diabetes.

VIDEO TUTORIAL OF RED CHORI BEAN CURRY

How do you get Red Chori Beans Sprouts?

Soak the beans in a bowl of water and set aside for at least 12 hours or overnight.

Rinse the beans and drain the water.

Rinse and drain the sprouts every 8 to 12 hours for the next three days or until when the sprouts achieve the required size.

Tips:

1. We can also cook beans in a steel vessel so that we can keep a check. 

2. Do not overcook the beans, when we press it from hand it should break easily.

3. Adding a tea spoon of sugar or palm sugar in the end would give a sweetness to the curry.

4. You can add Young Bamboo or Potatoes in the curry.
