Version 1

  • 1 cup 9 beans mixed cooked
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 3 tablespoon coconut grated
  • salt to taste

To grind to a coarse mixture :

  • 1 tablespoon chana dal
  • 1 teaspoon urad dal
  • 1 teaspoon moong dal

Version 2

  • 1/2 cup 9 beans mixed cooked
  • 3 tablespoon coconut grated
  • salt to taste

To temper:

  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon urad dal
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • a small sprig curry leaves
  • 1 no red chilli
  • a tiny pinch hing

The quantity of each bean can be purely your preference.

    I used 1/4 cup of white brown chana and rajma each and all others each

      Instructions

      • Version 1 : First soak the legumes overnight each one takes different time to cook. So I categorized them according to the cooking time it takes. I soaked Black Chana , White Chana and Rajma together, then horse gram and groundnut together, green gram dal separately.
      • Soak green peas and soya bean together, then cowpeas bean separately. Now cook them separately and keep them ready. While cooking add required salt for the bean.
      • In a pan dry roast the ingredients listed under 'to grind' till reddish brown then grind it to a semi coarse powder, set aside. Heat oil - add the items listed under ' to temper' let it crackle.
      • Then add red chilli powder then add cooked beans and give a quick saute. Then add coconut and masala powder , adjust salt and mix well. Cook for 2-3mins till the masala blends well with the beans. Switch off.
      • Version 2 : Heat oil - add the items listed under ' to temper' let it crackle. Then add cooked mixed beans give a quick saute, adjust salt then add coconut and mix well.
      • Serve Navaratna Bean Sundal hot / warm as a evening snack!

      Notes

      • Take care not to mush the bean....so cook them separately or combine 2-3 and cook them together as I did.
      • The 9 bean combo is your choice but I have given an idea, feel free to modify according to your preference and liking.
      • I cooked a lit more than required for sundal and made gravy for chapathi.
