Beans stir fry | பீன்ஸ் பொரியல் | South Indian style beans curry

Beans stir fry is a very easy recipe and this curry goes well with rotis and rice. There are different ways to make this curry. One is by adding moong dal, another one is adding grated coconut, etc. Today, I made this curry without moong dal or coconut. Yet, I did not want my curry to taste very bland. So, in order to get a peppy effect, I added 2 crushed garlic cloves. Let's see the recipe.

Ingredients:

Beans - 250 grams
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Salt - as required

For seasoning:

Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Urad dal - 1/2 tsp
Chana dal - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - 1 pinch
Garlic - 2 crushed cloves
Curry leaves - few

Method:

Wash and cut the beans into small pieces. Pressure cook for 2 whistles and keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add urad dal, chana dal, asafoetida, curry leaves and garlic cloves. Saute until dal and garlic turn golden brown.

Add the cooked beans, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, required salt and mix well.

Cover with lid and cook for 3 minutes. Mix well. Beans stir fry is ready! This curry tastes awesome with curd rice.
