Gobi, Butterbeans N Mint Kurma/Gravy

Mint kurma, is quite a flavoursome gravy prepared with coconut, bunch of mint leaves and few spices, roasted together n grounded them as fine paste, cooked up with a cup of few veggies...this kurma goes prefectly as side dish for rice, rotis..its such a lovely dish, even kids with love much, for a change i just added few pressure cooked butter beans to this kurma as i bought recently a packet of dry butter beans....Butter Beans come in two varieties: a large plump white bean which originated in Peru, also know as Lima Bean; and a smaller bean from Mexico. Butter Beans have a mild flavour and a buttery, mushy texture. Butter Beans are popular in soups and casseroles.Nutritionally, butter beans are an excellent source of fibre, a source of protein and contains many other important vitamins and minerals.
