Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp urad dal
  • 8 curry leaves
  • 2 whole dried chillies
  • 250 g green beans topped and tailed and finely chopped
  • 1 carrot finely chopped
  • Salt
  • 3/4 tsp turmeric
  • 6 tbsp grated coconut

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in frying pan.
  • Add in mustard seeds and cover until they begin to pop. Take care here because mustard seeds do pop right out of the pot so keep the pot covered and lift it off the fire and swirl to mix them.
  • Then add in the cumin, urad dal , curry leaves and chillies and fry for about 2 mins.
  • Then mix in the beans, carrots, salt, turmeric and cover and cook for about 10 mins until the vegetables are soft.
  • Stir in the grated coconut, adjust seasoning and remove from the heat.

Notes

If using unsweetened dried grated coconut just soak it in some warm water for about 30 mins, get rid f the excess water and use.
