Heat a pan with 1 tsp of oil once it is hot add in ½ tsp of Mustard. Let it splutter and then add in ½ tsp of cumin seeds and 1 spring curry leaves
Next add in the chopped onions and saute till glossy.
Next add in the chopped ¼ kg of Beans. Saute for a min
Add in the required salt and ½ cup of water. Combine everything and then cover and cook the beans for 5 mins.
Meanwhile let's prepare the coconut paste. In a blender add in ¼ cup of grated coconut, ¼ tsp of Turmeric powder, 4 garlic pods, 3 shallots. ¼ tsp of cumin seeds and 3 dry red chilies. Adjust the chillis added as per your spice levels.
Now grind it to a coarse paste and keep it ready
Beans will be now half cooked. Keep cooking with the lid open.
When the beans are almost cooked add in the ground coconut masala.
Mix well and cook for another 2 mins and then switch off the flame. Serve hot with Rice.
Notes
Goes very well with Sambar, Rice and Appalam.
Don’t overcook the bean as it may take away the nutrients, so keep a check while adding water to the beans.
