Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Green beans
- 50 grams Grated coconut
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad dal (split black gram)
- 2 pieces Dried red chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 50 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends and chop the beans into small pieces, approximately 1/4 inch in length.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the cumin seeds, urad dal, dried red chili, and curry leaves. Sauté these ingredients for 1-2 minutes until the urad dal turns golden brown.
Add the chopped green beans to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle turmeric powder and salt over the beans and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the beans to cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Add the grated coconut to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
Turn off the heat and transfer the beans poriyal to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish with rice or any low-carb main dish.
