Green Mung Bean Curry

I have already posted Sprouted Green Mung Bean Curry which is regularly prepared in my kitchen for Chapatis. The current recipe is one more type of Green Mung Bean Curry or Sabzi that uses different ingredients and tastes totally different than the sprouted Mung Bean Curry. Here I have added Potatoes to give more taste and used ground paste mainly with Poppy Seeds and Dry Coconut (Copra) which gives thickness and also enhance the taste of the curry.

When I prepared the curry for the first time, I used Sprouted Green Mung Bean for this and next time I prepared by pressure cooking the Green Mung Bean directly into the cooker. Both tasted differently. Here I have explained second method where the beans are pressure cooked since it is quite easy and takes less time to prepare and tastes good. This recipe is given by my cousin Vijaya, thanks to her. So try out and enjoy the Green Mung Bean Curry/Sabzi.
