Even during the summer, there are some cold or rainy days when I usually crave 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 bean, so grab the can from your pantry and you are ready.
Indian cuisine is well-known for 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 :)
