Beans Talimpu

Fresh tender beans talimpu with hot rice is a perfect combination. There are a lot of ways in which beans talimpu can be made. Today I made using roasted chana dal/putnala pappu, the same way my mom makes at home.

Ingredients:

Beans - 1 pound (appx 1/2 kilo) (chopped and steamed)

Onions - 1 medium sized, roughly chopped

Shredded coconut - 2 tbsp(preferably fresh)

Grind to Powder:

Roasted Chana Dal/Putnala Pappu - 1/2 cup

Chilli Powder - 1 tbsp

Garlic - 1, roughly chopped

Salt - 1/2 tsp

For the Tempering:

Oil - 2 tbsp

Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp

Cumin Seeds - 1/4 tsp

Urad dal - 1/2 tsp

Curry leaves - 4-5

Method of Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a pan and mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, curry leaves. Once the seeds splutter add the onions and fry till the onions become translucent.

2. Add the steamed beans and some salt. Cook for 5 minutes

3. Add the shredded coconut and the roasted chana dal powder, mix well, adjust the salt and cook for 5 more minutes.

4. Serve the beans talimpu with warm rice or rotis.
