Simple food can never go out of fashion. This side dish is having the goodness of beans and the flavour of lemon and spices.. Green beans are a good source of vitamins and minerals including folate which is very good especially for women.

How to eat it?

This is best enjoyed as a #sidedish with #rice or #roti (Indian flatbread)


Ingredients (serves 2)

250 gm washed and cut beans (inch length)

1 red onion peeled and chopped in small pieces

1 chopped green chilli

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp black gram lentil (urad dal)

1tsp split chickpeas (chana dal)

2 tbsp groundnut oil (use any other vegetable oil of your choice)

salt to taste

1/2 lemon juice

Recipe

👩‍🍳Boil the chopped beans in just half a cup of water with some salt until cooked or pressure cook for one whistle. (I generally cook in a pressure cooker with separators so that I can cook rice and boil vegetables at the same time)

👩‍🍳Heat the oil in a pan and add mustard seeds

👩‍🍳Add Urad dal and chana dal

👩‍🍳Stir until they turn brown and nice

👩‍🍳Now add the onions and stir occasionally

👩‍🍳Once they begin to turn brown add the chilli

👩‍🍳Add salt and the boiled beans

👩‍🍳Cook open for 5 minutes

👩‍🍳 Add fresh lemon juice and grated coconut for garnish (optional but this tastes amazing)
