LIMA BEANS CHUNDAL

INGREDIENTS:

Lima Beans	1.5 cup frozen
Salt	To taste
Turmeric powder	¼ tsp
Red chilli powder	½ tsp
Oil	½ tbsp
Mustard seeds	¼ tsp
Urad dal split	¼ tsp
Curry leaves	1 sprig
Dry red chili	1 – broken into half
Asafetida	A pinch
Coconut	2 tbsp grated

METHOD:

• Thaw the frozen lima beans by rinsing under water for a min. Pressure cook the lima beans with salt and turmeric powder for 1 whistle. If using dry beans, then soaking might be required and also cook for 2-3 whistles instead of 1 whistle.
• In a kadai, heat ½ tbsp oil and add urad dal split, mustard seeds, broken dry red chili and curry leaves.
• As the seeds splutter, add red chili powder and asafetida. Stir and immediately add the cooked lima beans. Adjust the spiciness as per your choice.
• Cook until the extra water dries out and beans has absorbed all the flavors. If there is too much water while pressure cooking then drain out some of the water and then add to the tempering.
• Finally add the grated coconut and mix well.
• Serve hot.
