Kandulu (Tuvar or Toor Beans)
Dried Beans, Rehydrated Beans and Cooked Beans
(Clockwise from the bottom. Notice the color change)
Kandula Kura with Potatoes ~ for Jihva
Aloo Kurma is a good thing. Add the earthy, tooth-some tuvar beans, you have something even better. A fantastic Kandula Kura substantial enough to nurture an Olympic trainer.
The crowning glory! Each and every one of your toor dishes has been lovlier than the last. Thank you so much, dear Indira 🙂

Nirmala: Living life, or for that matter maintaining a website is an olympic marathon, don’t you think?

Hi Indira. I have a question, and I was wondering if you could help me. I was shopping for mung beans, and when I got home, I saw I bought ‘moth’ beans. Do you know what they are? They are brown, small, and oval, a little like mung beans, but brown. Many thanks, Maninas.
Hi Maninas, Moth beans, also known as matki beans are like cousins to mung beans. They have that same wonderful taste. Can be used in place of mung beans. Cook them like you do the mung beans. They are also reliable sprouters, and produce delightful looking sprouts that taste mellow and crisply sweet.
I’ve written few recipes with moth (Matki) beans, here is the link.
Hope this helps.
– Indira
