  • Wash and pat dry the yard beans, chop them and set aside

  • Heat up a kadai or non-stick pan, pour the oil and crackle mustard seeds. Add in curry leaves and broken red chilies and saute for few seconds.
  • Add in the onion, green chilies, salt and saute for a minute. Add the chopped yard beans, turmeric powder and saute well to mix everything. 
  • Cover and half cook the yard beans in medium heat without adding water. Stir in between so that they don't stick onto the pan and burn
  • Add the cooked red moong/red chori and stir well to mix everything. Cover and cook for some more time say five-seven minutes till yard bean and red moong blend well and is cooked properly. Check for the salt and adjust accordingly.
  • Add the grated coconut and more curry leaves and saute to mix well. 
  • Switch off the flame and serve warm with Rice/Roti. Enjoy!!!!!!
