Corn,beans and potato curry Recipe

Corn,beans and potato curry Recipe:
Corn curry

Corns  are one of my favorite ingredients and many times I boil or roast corns at home ,season them with salt and pepper and enjoy the boiled or roasted corns as a tea time snack.Recently at a dinner invitation at one of my friends home I tasted this sweet corn curry with french beans and I liked it immediately,I got the recipe from her(Actually the credit for this recipe goes to my friends mother in law as she showed my friend how to make this curry) ,tried to make the curry at my place and it turned out really awesome .This sweet corn curry recipe is easy,healthy and mouth watering.If you can not find french beans at the local market use regular green beans .

Corns are low in saturated fat and cholesterol and are very good source of Vitamin B-6 , Iron and also one of the finest source of dietary fiber.I do not discard the water used for boiling the sweet corn kernels,but use this in the curry instead of plain warm water,this increases the flavors as well as the nutrition value of the curry.On the other hand french beans are a rich source of dietary fiber,Vitamin C and Vitamin A . Every 100 grams of french green beans only has 35 calories,so the beans are also a very good choice for you if you want to reduce some extra flab. I use french beans every time I make any type of pulao(Pilaf).So here is the full recipe ,hope that you will like it:)
