• Beans - 15 to 20 Nos
  • Green Gram Dhal – two tablespoon
  • Coconut gratings – 1 tablespoon
  • Sambar powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder – a pinch
  • Oil – 1 teaspoon
  • Mustard – half teaspoon
  • Curry leaves few
  • Salt – ½ teaspoon or as per taste

Wash and cut the beans into small pieces. Cook green gram dhal (not too soft 3/4th cooked).

In a kadai put one teaspoon oil and when it is hot add mustard. When it pops up add curry leaves and fry for a while. Put the vegetable now and add sambar powder, turmeric powder, salt and sprinkle water just to cover the vegetable. Mix well.

Close with lid. Cook on medium flame till the vegetable is soft and all the water is absorbed. Now add the cooked dhal, grated coconut and mix well.

Tips:When you are adding the cooked dhal, take out in your hands and squeeze out the water completely and add to the vegetable. This will make the dhal slightly mashed and blend well with the vegetable.
