Swiss Chard and Kidney Beans in Coconut gravy

We were entertaining a few friends at our place the other day and some of them were not meat eaters. Whenever we have vegetarians visiting, I usually make a paneer dish but this time I wanted to try something new. I cooked up this dish and I guess it was an instant winner since thedish was pretty much swept clean !!
