   I made this recipe yesterday and it is so delicious and easy. What depth of flavor! It was the first time that I filled my pressure cooker so full, so I was a bit apprehensive, but it worked great and the beans were perfectly cooked.

   I will make this recipe again and again.

   Now I will muster the courage to make bhatura. Wish me luck!

   Hi Deepa,

   If you do not prefer the tangy taste, you can reduce or eliminate the amchoor.

    Hi Hetal and Anuja:

    I have become a big fan of yours.
    Like many others,I was skeptical about this recipe because its without onion/garlic.

    But I made it exactly like the recipe called for and it was AWESOME!! It was a welcome change from what I usually make. I had some leftover sweet chutney and frozen mini cocktails samosas from last weekends party. I threw them in with some spinach chutney(I ran out of cilantro)It was sooo good..

    Thank you ladies!!

    Hello Maam. I went through your website and found it quite useful for me. Later I tried my hand on Rajma Curry and Chole Masala. I never knew cooking is so easy. Now I can declare myself a perfect cook. Thanks to your website. Regards

    Hi Shobana,

    Tea bags are used for subtle flavor but really for the dark brownish color. If you don’t have them, it is okay to leave them out. There is no good substitute.
