This is a pretty staple side-dish inward most konkani household. Depending on the edible bean that has been used, the nomenclature of the soup. Today, I am going to utter well-nigh crimson kidney edible bean which inward Konkani is known equally tambde bea. "Tambde" way "red" together with "bea" way "bean". So crimson kidney edible bean soup would endure called tambde bea saarupkari. All that is done for the soup is that yous boil the concerned beans amongst excess H2O until it is tender plenty to your liking together with yous acquire a thick gravy.We together with so add together tabular array salt together with temper it amongst either mustard, curry leaves , hing together with chilli pulverization or temper it amongst crushed garlic together with chilli pulverization .

Enjoy! I am bringing this hearty soup to Angie's Block political party at Fiesta Friday.It is co-hosted past times Hilda @ Along the Grapevine together with Julianna @ Foodie on Board.
Cooking made easy:
This saarupkari/ soup tin dismiss endure made amongst whatsoever beans. I prefer the dried beans equally when yous boil them yous acquire a overnice thick soupy consistency sauce. The canned beans don't plow over yous the same results, unless of course of pedagogy yous purpose the fluid that comes amongst the beans. This fluid all the same really high inward sodium together with may direct maintain preservatives together with thus is non skillful for you.
For creamier beans, add together a pinch of baking soda inward the H2O acre soaking the dried beans.
Tip for good for yous living:
Avoid canned beans equally the aluminum from the tin dismiss leaches into the fluid. Also the fluid tends to endure high inward sodium which is non skillful for the body. Increased consumption of sodium tin dismiss increase blood pressure, drive H2O memory inward the body.
