Black Beans are called Turtle Beans in English and Karuppu Karamani in Tamil.
Black beans have a satisfying texture and mildly sweet flavor. Theyre also incredibly healthy, providing multiple vital nutrients with minimal fat and sugar.
Health Benefits
The antioxidants, fiber, protein, and carbohydrates in black beans make them nutritionally powerful. A diet rich in beans can reduce your risk of several serious medical conditions and help your body to process calories more effectively.
My current stay in Dallas facilitates my preparation of this scrumptious Black Beans Masala - I use canned Black Beans that are easily available, However, its very easy even if we had to boil them. All that is needed is soak the Black beans overnight in water. Drain and add 3 cups of water to 1 cup. Pressure cook till done adding saa add lt and turmeric.
