Clustered Beans Poriyal

Murunggaikai Paruppu which I made for Friday's Potluck was tasty but it was not as spicy as it is supposed to be. I had some leftovers and so I ended up making Spicy Kothavarankkaai Poriyal as Side dish. 

               

Ingredients:

Clustered Beans ----------------> 2 Cups, Chopped fine (Kothavarankkaai)

Onion -----------------------------> 1 Cup, Chopped fine

Salt --------------------------------> A2Y taste

To Grind                              

Coconut --------------------------> 1 cup

Jeera ------------------------------> 2 tsp

Red Chillies ----------------------> 4

Grind everything to make a coarse mixture without water.                       

                               

For Seasoning                   

Mustard Seeds -----------------> 1 tsp

Urad dhal ------------------------> 1 tsp

Curry Leaves --------------------> few leaves

               

Procedure:        

v  I had only little time to make this Poriyal since we both were hungry. So I cooked the beans in the microwave as follows. In a Glass bowl, put the beans & little salt; close it with the lid and cook it for 4 minutes.               

v  Do the seasoning with mustard seeds & Urad dhal.         

v  Add Onions and fry until it is translucent              

v  Now add cooked beans followed by Coconut mixture.  

v  Mix it well and leave it for few minutes.               

v  Ready to Eat! See huw much easier is the cooking.
