Vegetarian Bean Curry

4.4
(127)

This vegetarian bean curry recipe is basic but easily adjustable by playing around with the seasonings and ingredients. My first batch was good, but since then, I've experimented with different spice levels, — more or less — other veggies like mushrooms, and adding meat. Now, it's different every time I make it. Serve it over basmati rice with naan bread.
