Fresh green beans with a delicious sauce! Instead of grating a fresh coconut, buy frozen grated coconut at an Asian or Indian grocery. Don't use the bagged coconut found in the baking aisle at American groceries. Other vegetables to use instead of green beans are okra, potatoes, cauliflower, or cabbage. Ingredients:
1 lb green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 teaspoon jaggery (or sugar) |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1 tablespoon mustard seeds |
3 tablespoons oil (or ghee) |
3 curry leaves |
1 cup coconut, fresh grated |
1 tablespoon jalapeno, minced |
1/4 teaspoon hing |
2 tablespoons channa dal |
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped |
salt |
Directions:
1. Boil beans in water with the jaggery and salt until tender. Put aside.
2. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet.
3. Add mustard seeds.
4. When the seeds begin to crackle add chana dal and saute until lightly browned.
5. Add hing, curry leaves, jalapeno, turmeric and cilantro.
6. Stir fry for one minute.
7. Add beans, coconut, and salt and cook for 5-7 minutes.
