BEANS DAL USILI

Here is an old time favourite.

BEANS DAL USLI

Ingredients:
250 grms beans chopped
Little tumeric powder
100 grms toor dal soaked
50 grms channa dal soaked
4 dry red chillies more if you like hot
Salt to taste
Little asafoetida powder

To Season:
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
1 sprig curry leaves
3 tbs oil

Cook the cut beans with little salt and tumeric powder.
Use little water, drain and keep aside.

Grind the soaked dals, with dry red chillies , salt and asafoetida powder.
The mixture should be thick. Steam cook the mixture in a idli cooker.
When done remove and cool. Then break up the mixture with your
Fingers to give a powdery consistency.

Heat oil in a wok, add in the mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves.
After a second add in the powdered mix and fry in low heat for about 10 minutes. Now add in the cooked beans and fry on high heat.
(I like it to be fried crispy. ) give a good stir and remove.
This usili is a good combination for moor kulambu.
