CHINTACHIGURU GORUCHIKKUDU KURA ( YOUNG TAMARIND LEAVES AND CLUSTER BEANS CURRY)

Chintachiguru -- young tamarind leaves Ihave to tell a big thanks to my mom for this. she purchased fresh young tamarind leaves and cleaned and washed them and dry them in the shade for some time and packed in small plastic bags and she stored them in the fridge.
in the fridge they become dry and looks like this.you can make a powder with this dry leaves and store in a bottle these leaves will stay for 1 year in the fridge.
and you can use these leaves for kheema curry, fish curry and even for dal(chintachiguru pappu) check my dal recipe here .
And chintachiguru dishes are most favorites in Andhra people. And now it is time for young tamarind leaves I think.

Now heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds and let them popup then add urad dal, broken dry red chilies, cumin seeds, curry leaves let them fry for a while.
Then add chopped onion and green chilies and fry till onion become soft.
Now add ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, and stir once and then add tamarind leaves, red chili powder and cooked cluster beans, salt to taste (check the taste and add salt here because we add salt when we are cooking the beans) mix well and add 1/4 cup water, stir in between and cook till water evaporates.
Make sure there is no water left in the curry and then remove from heat and serve hot.
Serve hot with rice or rotis

And also you can cook this in a pressure cooker for that what you need to do is.

Remove from heat and let it cool and open check if there is any water left again bring back to heat and cook in a high flame till all water evaporates and then remove from the heat and serve.

this is the easy way to cook this curry I think

in this way no need to cook cluster beans before.
