Even during the summer, there are some cold or rainy days when I'm usually craving something warm and filling, full of flavors and different spices.
This dish is exactly what helps me during stormy days.
Well known Indian dish with more veggies inside and as a source of good protein instead of classic chicken there is a healthier plant-based option - beans. Actually it works with every type of beans, so just grab the can from your pantry and you are ready.
Indian cuisine is well-known with its strong game with spices and this recipe is not an exception.
What else is great about it that it is really affordable and pretty easy to make, what else do you really need when it comes to cooking.
No expensive products, only easy to find, cheap but delicious ingredients, combined into something so tasty :)
