Tips
Cluster Beans:
-
Try to get tender Beans. De-string the Beans
-
If you have mature Cluster Beans, remove the string, and give it a boil in the Pressure Cooker for a period of 3 whistles.
-
Do not let the Beans get over cooked. They will disintegrate in the Tamarind Juice.
Sesame (Til) Powder:
- I have added roasted Sesame (Til) Powder for enhancing the taste. You may use Rice Powder or Besan. You can prepare a mixture with water but take good care that there should be no lumps.
