Fresh Kidney Beans Curry

I saw weirdly speckled pods next to the green beans at local market this week. The sign said "fresh pinto beans" (Kidney beans) . I love kidney beans and they too very fresh! So I bought this fresh pinto beans in shell  from Market. 

They provide antioxidant effects, give you energy, and provide fat-free high quality protein, fiber, vitamins, iron, folate magnesium etc etc. Fresh rajma beans tastes much better than the dried one and cooks faster also. Here’s a delicious and tasty quick vegetarian curry.
