ChavaLi UsaL -(Black Eyed Beans Curry)

One of my favourite options for regular meals is chavLichi usal i.e. Black Eyed beans curry. This curry can be served with both Rice and Chapatti's. My mother makes it specially for me when I visit her.

Like most of my recipe's this recipe is also a mixture of the recipe followed by my mother and the recipe followed by my mother-in-law.
