Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter beans
  • 1 heaped teaspoon sundal podi

To temper:

  • 3 tablespoon coconut pieces
  • ½ teaspoon jeera

To temper:

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • a small sprig curry leaves
  • 2 small red chillies

Instructions

  • Soak butter beans overnight or at least for 6 hrs.
  • Pressure cook with enough water for 3 whistles.
  • Once the pressure releases, carefully open and transfer the beans straining the water. Set aside.
  • To  a mixer jar add coconut and jeera, grind it to a coarse dry mixture.
  • Heat oil in a pan - add the items listed under 'to temper'  let it splutter.
  • Now add cooked beans along with coconut mixture and sundal podi. Toss it well.
  • Cook covered for 2 mins for the extra moisture to leaves, then toss well and switch off. Butter Beans Sundal ready!

Notes

  • Soak beans well – I usually soak butter beans overnight. This helps the beans cook soft and evenly.
  • Cook until soft – I make sure the beans is cooked soft but not mushy. Overcooked beans may break while mixing.
  • Use fresh coconut – I always prefer fresh coconut for this dish. It gives better taste and nice crunch.
  • Drain water– I always drain the cooked beans well. Extra moisture will make the sundal little soggy.
  • Cooking – I cook the sundal for one or two minutes after mixing. This removes extra moisture from the pan.
  • Adjust spice if needed – I sometimes add one extra red chilli if we want little more spice.
