Clustered beans(gori chikkudikaaya, mattinkaaya) with moong daal(pesarapappu)

Ingredients(serves 6)

1.cut beans - 1 cup(230 ml)
2.moong daal(pesarapappu) -3/4 cup
3.Turmeric -1/4 tea spoon
4.Red chilli powder -1 tea spoon(5 ml)


(for seasoning)

Onion medium - 1/2
Dry red chilli - 3
Cumin seeds - 1/4 tea spoon
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tea spoon
Curry leaves -5
Oil - 1 table spoon(15 ml)
procedure:

1. Boil beans with one cup water for 10 minutes and drain the excess water and keep aside.
2. Wash daal once or twice and fry moong daal without oil for 5 minutes and keep aside.
3. Do the seasoning. You need not fry onion till brown.just fry the onion in the seasoning

for 3 minutes.
4.Add 3 cups of water to this seasoning and add boiled beans and moong daal.Close the

lid and put it on high flame. After 5 minutes add salt and dry chilli powder.


Your curry will be ready in 15 minutes.I made
this a little dry.You can allow some water to retain
in the curry to make it gravy.

Serve it hot with rice or roll it in a poori/chapathi.
I was able to make 4.5 cups of curry with these

ingredients. moong daal becomes 4 times when boiled.
