Beans Thoran

Here comes my 3^rd Thoran recipe. You can make thoran of anything from beetroot, carrot, mushrooms, cucumber, bitter gourd, et. Will try to include all these recipes here.

Ingredients:

1 bunch of Fresh beans / Long beans

8 -10 small onions/ shallots

2 -3 Green chillies

1/4tspn Turmeric powder

1/4tspn Black pepper powder

1/4^th cup freshly grated coconut

1/4cup water

Salt as per taste

For Tempering:

2tblpsn Coconut oil/ Vegetable oil

1/2tspn Mustad seeds

Few curry leaves

Method:

  1.   Wash the beans under running water and chop the beans finely.

  2.   Clean and wash small onions (shallots) and slice them into 3/4 pieces. Chop the green chillies and keep them aside. 

  3.   Take a pan add the chopped beans, onions, green chillies, turmeric powder, black pepper powder with water and salt to taste. Put on the gas with pan lid closed. We just need to steam the beans don’t cook them fully.

  4.   Once the beans are steamed and water is dried. Move them aside to the sides of the pan from the centre to make place for tempering.

  5.   Pour coconut oil in the centre. Once the oil is hot add mustard seeds, when they start to splutter add curry leaves and mix it well with the beans.

  6.   Sprinkle freshly grated coconut on the beans and mix it well. Cook it for few more minutes.

 7. Its now ready to serve with rice and curry.

NOTE:

•         Chopping of beans finely helps them to steam fast.
•        Tempering can be given in separate pan too.
•         Green Chillies can be added as per ones taste.
