PREPARATION

  1. Clean ,wash ,rinse and pat dry the beans . String it and chop it finely as shown in image .
  2. Clean, wash ,rinse and soak the dal with the red chilli for minimum 1 hr or more .It should be soaked well to get a nice texture .Drain the excess water from the soaked dal .[ there should be no water ]
  3. First grind the soaked red chilli + asafoetida + salt .Add the soaked dal and blend it into a coarse mixture .
  4. Grease the idli plates .

 METHOD                                                                                                     

Remove the mixture in a mixing bowl ,add the beans and mix well with clean hands .[remember there should be no water else it will be mushy and sticky ]

Adjust salt if required .

Fill the dal mixture in the moulds with hands by sprinkling – don’t press ,it has to be loose.

Steam it for 10 – 12 mins .

Remove and allow it to cool completely .

Again with clean hands crumble the steamed dal + beans .

In a pan heat oil ,add mustard seeds + urad dal and fry .

Add onion + curry leaves and fry till translucent .

Add the crumbled dal + beans mixture and mix well  .

Stir fry for 1 minute.

Sprinkle the coconut + sambar pwdr and coriander leaves .

Off the flame and serve as a side dish .

Goes well with rice + any plain kadhi .

VARIATION

  • I have mixed the dal and beans together and steamed it – you can steam the dal and beans separately and later mix it.
  • Some veges which u don’t want to steam – u can stir fry and later add the crumbled steamed dal .eg Capsicum – u start with tempering , add chopped capsicum -stir fry till it is done and continue with the remaining procedure .

NOTES

  1. *** Dal should have no water while grinding .
  2. Instead of red chilli ,u can add green chilli .
  3. Sambar pwdr is optional but it adds flavor .
  4. As it is a plain preparation make it little spicy – adjust chilli accordingly .
  5. You can also add chopped cabbage and green peas together with the beans .
  6. The same recipe can be tried with banana flower / cluster beans / cabbage / snake gourd / mixed veges /cauliflower / broccoli even capsicum .
  7. U can play with the proportion of both the dals – u can take half of each .OR just make of toor dal .U can add more veges and less dal or less veges and more dal.
  8. U can just make it plain without any veges just the dal .
