Padma's Recipes. Powered by Blogger. Blogger templates Simple Green Beans Poriyal/Koora Beans - 2 cups chopped
Onion - 1 small chopped fine
Garlic - 3 flakes crushed
Coconut grated - 2 tbsp
Green chillies - 3 slit/chopped
Curry leaves - few
Mustard seeds and urad dhal - 1/2 tsp together
Salt as needed
Oil - 1 tbsp

Place beans in a microwavable container and sprinkle some water and cook in the microwave for 8 - 10 minutes alternatively you can cook on stove top by adding water just enough for immersing and cook till they are soft.

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds , urad dhal and curry leaves. When they splutter up add chopped onions, green chillies and crushed garlic( optional). Fry till onions turn nice brown and add cooked beans and salt. Mix in well and add grated coconut. Mix everything together again for 1- 2 minutes and remove. This goes well as a side dish with rice.

The curry leaves placed on top are plucked fresh from my pot :D. Will post some pictures from my garden very soon. They are still coming up with great difficulty with all those little bunnies in the garden. Posted by Padma Labels: Dry Veg

Simple and delicious poriyal.

Hi Padma, that sounds delicious, and I've been looking for an excuse to use curry leaves. :) How great that you are growing them yourself; they look gorgeous.

I'd like to try this recipe -- did you use fresh green beans?

June 30, 2009 at 7:11 AM 
Thanks a lot friends...yes indeed it is a simple and healthy dish :)...
@ Lisa - Thanks Lisa - yeah I used fresh green beans to make this.. you get a good color n crunchness when you use fresh ones for this type of dry curry and growing the curry leaves fresh indoors all thru the year and taking extra care and still don't feel like plucking some from the small plant... happy to see them in the pot itself :D

June 30, 2009 at 7:24 AM
