KOTHAVARANGAI / CUSTER BEANS PARUPPUSLI

We make this paruppusli when we make moar kulambhu or vatha kulambhu, which has no dal in that. To compensate protein in our diet. My kids favourite dish.


             




                     
INGREDIENTS

cluster beans  - 250 gms
thoor dhall - 1 cup
chenna dhall - 1/2 cup
red chili - 2 or 4
hing - one pinch
salt to taste
oil, mustard seeds, urad dal for tempering


  I METHOD  
  • Soak both Daals for ½ hour
  • Cut the cluster beans and steam it.
  • combine soaked dal, salt, red chili and salt and hing and grind coarsely.
  •  pressure cook it or cook in a microwave.
  •  Let it become cool.
  • Scramble the cooked Daal.
  • Mix cluster beans and scrambled dal. 
  • In a pan add oil and add mustard seeds , curry leaves.
  • When it cracle add the mixed dal
  • cook in sim for 10 to 15 minutes stir in between.
METHOD 2

combine soaked dal, salt, red chili and salt and hing and grind it.

Make adai s using oil.

Let it cool  and grind the adais to powder.













In a pan add oil , mustard  seeds and urad dal, after it crackles add cluster beans.


  Cook the cluster beans . Add the grounded mix to it.




Cook till it blends and gives a nice aroma. 




NOTE
  •  You can replace beans, cauiflower or plaintain flower etc.
  • If you keep the steamed dal in fridge , scrambling will be easy.
  • You can cook the dal and keep it in the fridge overnight.
