I loved this dish a lot since my childhood. Probably then I didn't realise it was the healthiest dish that I loved :D Just like the name says it uses almost everything that's in your fridge :)

Method
  • In a half cup of water add the tamarind and keep aside.
  • In a pan, add beans and 4 cups of water and cook over high flame for 5 minutes

Notes
You can optionally add 1 cup of pumpkin pieces too, but I couldn't as it wasn't available in the store here.
