By now I’m certain you’ve caught on to my love for curries, but throw in some red adzuki beans (also known as azuki beans) and you’re in for one big nutritional punch of a curry! Adzuki beans are packed with antioxidants, protein, fiber and folate; and they’re mild, nutty flavor really complements the warming spices and creaminess of a curry. I think you’ll find you concur!

    This is the tastiest bean curry that I’ve practiced. I feel the light fat and flavor of coconut. This curry is ideal to serve with steamed rice. I like spicy so I added more red chili powder.
