   Ingredients needed

   Beans – 250 grams
   Turmeric powder – a pinch

Preparation


String the beans, wash and cut it into small pieces.

Method

Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, when it splutters, add urad dal, red chilli, hing and green chillies.

Saute till urad dal turns golden brown, then add chopped beans, turmeric powder, salt needed and 1/4 cup of water.

Keep the flame low and let it cook covered till soft. Stir it now and then for even cooking. You can also sprinkle water if needed in between.

Once the beans becomes soft, add grated coconut, mix well and switch off the flame. Check for salt.

Serve it as an accompaniment with rice or chapati.

Another variation – Beans with moong dal (pasi paruppu)

Cook 2 tbsp of moong dal in a pan or kadai adding very less water. Dal should be cooked soft but not mushy.

After the beans is cooked, add cooked moong dal, grated coconut, mix well and remove from flame.

Note – You can make this in a pressure pan or small cooker without the whistle on low heat, stirring from time to time.

    Hi dear.. though I'm a southie I'm not good with south Indian cooking. N my in-laws only like southie food. Whenever i used to prepare any of the south delicacies I would be very apprehensive. Most of the times I have not expectations. But from past one week.. I'm preparing food following your instructions in these recipes..
    And the reason to it is that there are no remains rather i fall short of food most of the time…. they turn out so delicious and yummy that i get demands regards to the menu…. THANK YOU SO MUCH.. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS TO TEACH BEGINNERS/STRUGGLERS LIKE ME WITH REGARDS TO SOUTH INDIAN COOKING… THANKS A TON
