Beans Poriyal w/coconut

A simple, no nonsense recipe...delicious with rice and curry / curd. I like it with hot rotis too (you got to try it to believe it) :-)

Cooking time: 20 mins

Ingredients (4 servings)
*Cut green beans - 1/2 kg
*Grated coconut - 1/4 kg
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tbsp
Split urad dal - 1/2 tbsp
Chana dal - 1/2 tbsp
Jeera - 1/2 tbsp
Dry red chillies - 2
Curry leaves - 4
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tbsp
Red chilli powder - 1/4 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt to taste

* As I always say, frozen veggies save a lot of time!

Preparation (for two)

• Heat oil in a kadai in medium heat
  
• Add mustard seeds and wait till they splutter
• Add split urad dal, chana dal, jeera, dry red chillies and curry leaves
• Add the cut green beans (if using frozen, do not thaw). Sprinkle some water
  
• Close the kadai with a lid and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you see the veggies getting burnt/sticking to the kadai, sprinkle some more water
  
• Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt. Stir well
• Sprinkle grated coconut and close the kadai with a lid
  
• Turn off the heat and serve hot
