Busy woman's Paruppusili

Made the mango kuzambu and this curry today for lunch. I decided to take pics of this and post in the blog as well.

Ingredients:

Green beans cut in 1 inch pieces

1 cup of Chana Dhal

1/4 tsp of Turmeric

1 tsp of Dhaniya powder

Salt to taste

1/2 tsp of Mustard seeds

1 tsp of Black gram dhal

Pressure cook the green beans and chana dhal together with turmeric. There should be just enough water to cover the surface.

Fry the mustard and black gram dhal with a pinch of asafoetida.

Add the cooked beans and dhal to this. Add salt to taste, and the dhaniya powder. Do not stir fry too much as the dhal would break and become mush. Lower the flame and let the beans and dhal stiffen a bit before stir frying it.

Cook until the beans and dhal are slightly browned.
