When I went for my weekly Vegetables shopping I saw this broad beans. I was asking about this to shop owner. She told me this just the same as french beans but more crisper and bit of sweetness. I decided to give it a try and did the Poriyal in the same way as french beans
Ingredients:
- Beans – 400g
- Moong Dhal – 1/3 cup
- Red Chillies – 3 ( I use Red Chillies in green vege so that kids can notice it) if you prefer Green you can use it also
- Mustard Seeds – 1/2 teaspoon
- Urad Dhal – 2 teaspoon
- Finely chopped Onion – 1 tablespoon
- Curry leaves – 1 string
- Grated Coconut – 1 tablespoon (Optional) I don’t use it
- Salt to taste
Method:
- Wash and cut the beans into small pieces. (if you it cross it will look nice)
- In a kadai put one teaspoon oil and when it is hot add half teaspoon mustard.
- When it start to splutter add urad dhal, Red Chillies and fry it till urad dhal is brown
- Add Curry leaves and Moong Dhal
- Add water just to cover the dhal with salt
- Let the Dhal to get cooked (1/2th only). You can close the Kadai
- add Beans and cook it with lid closed. if you are using Coconut, once cooked add grated coconut and mix for 10 sec
- Transfer to serving dish
