Bendi is a typical south canara dish with lots of garlic seasoning .Tingalavro is white navy beans and vaali is malabar spinach also called as Indian spinach.It is a kalvani randayi i.e used as an accompaniment with rice. The same curry can be prepared using Kulith i.e horsegram too.Just replace horsegram with navy beans…the procedure and recipe remains same.
