Beans-Chana Dal Stir Fry


For this edition of BM # 18, I have chosen to post some dry saute/side dishes for the next 3 days.


We, at home are all fans of Green beans. We love them in any form. So I tried this version with soaked chana dal and it was a delightful fry. In fact I ate it like a salad as I had reduced the spice level for the kids!


Ingredients - 


Green Beans stringed and chopped 2-3 cups
Chana Dal 1/4 cup soaked for 2 hours
Onions finely chopped 1/4 cup
Salt as needed
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp, Curry leaves few, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp)
To Grind -
Coconut 2 Tbsp
Sesame seeds , roasted 1 Tbsp 
Dry Red Chillies 2-3
Coriander leaves few


Beans-Chana Dal Stir Fry


Method Of Preparation -


Boil/Steam the green beans separately either on the stove top or in the microwave.


Grind the ingredients listed under 'To Grind' and set aside.


In a heated kadai/wok, add oil and the rest of the seasoning. After the mustard seeds pop, saute the onions until they are translucent.


Add the soaked and drained chana dal. Stir fry for a couple minutes.


Sprinkle turmeric and add the boiled/steamed beans. Stir fry 
adding the ground masala.


Add salt as needed and remove from fire.


Serve as a side dish along with rice and Dal/Sambar.
