Potato French Beans Curry- A comforting one-pot curry!
Imagine yourself on a chilly evening, relaxing on a sofa, wrapped in a cosy blanket, your favourite show playing on the TV, and just then your partner/loved one brings you hot rice with yummy, aromatic, tempting, drool-worthy hot Potato French Beans Curry. Wow, that’s heaven, right?
I know! This is exactly how I felt while making this potato-french bean curry in this cosy chilly weather. You can make this in one pot with just the ingredients that are sitting in your kitchen pantry. Just switch on your rice cooker (if you have one) and let it do its job while you start prepping for Potato French Beans Curry.
For this dish, I already had pre-cut French Beans in the fridge, so I quickly prepped other ingredients while the pressure cooker was heating up. As I already mentioned, this is a one-pot curry; the gravy consistency can be adjusted according to your preferences.
