Beans Pachadi

Ever since some of my non-blogging friends read about my post on Beetroot salad,they have been mailing me and asking me to be more careful about my health and the way I eat.I had great trouble convincing them that dieting,if done in the proper way can harm you in no way.Which brings us to another health food today.Making a salad out of our humble beans.Well,its not exactly a salad but it can be camouflaged to be one!!

Beans Pachadi

Ingredients

Beans - 200 gms,cut lengthwise into thin slices
White/Salad onion - 1,chopped finely(you can use normal onions too)
Grated coconut - 2 tbsp
Green,red chilly - 1 each,cut into two
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tsp
Salt to taste

Method

In a kadai,pour the oil and splutter mustard seeds in it.
Add the chillies and saute for a few seconds.
Add the beans,salt to taste and mix well.
Sprinkle water on it,close the lid and let it cook.
Beans should be just cooked enough,not very mushy.
In another pan,add the onions and grated coconut together and mix well with your hands.
Just before serving,mix the onion-coconut mix to the cooked beans.
