Vegetables with dried beans kurma

One of my friend's mil does this kurma with different vegetable and different bean every time, which ends up in a different taste according to the mixture. So, when i heard it, i wanted to give it a try and so here goes the recipe.

1 cup black chick peas (it can be substituted with different dried beans) - soaked and pressure cooked.
4 brinjal/eggplant (it can be substituted with some other veggies) diced
1/2 onion
1/2 tomato
Little sambar powder (according to taste)

To Grind:
Little coriander leaves
Little mint leaves
1/2 onion
1/2 tomato
1 tsp. cumin seeds/jeera
1 tsp. fenugreek seeds/sombu
1 tsp. pepper/milagu
1 tbsp. coriander seeds/malli
1 tbsp. split peas/pottu kadalai

Separately grind 1 tbsp. coconut

In a pan, splutter mustard seeds, urad dhal and curry leaves, then add onions, tomatoes, brinjal one by one, once brinjal is cooked, then add sambar powder and salt. Now add the ground paste, once the paste loses its raw smell, add the cooked bean as well. Add some water and cover it and let it boil for few minutes. Then add the ground coconut paste to the mixture and switch it off.

This goes well with any tiffin item (idly/dosai/chappathi) or even on top of rice.

Thanks Uma, for this new recipe.
