As you will all be knowing I am in a spree of afghani recipes in my blog today. Here come the entree from the afghani platter I made.
We love using pulses in our routine diet and blacked eyed peas and kidney beans our loved by my H a lot.So for the entree I chose is afghani style vegetable qorma which goes well with naans and rice.
Traditionally they use kidney beans but here I have used Black eyed peas . They call kidney beans as Lubia but in India we call black eyed peas as lobia right. This is similar to our Indian korma but is super simple and easy to make version. I was surprised to see a vegetarian curry similar ti Indian version online and adapted my own version. lets move to this delicious curry recipe..
