- 1 teaspoon Cooking Oil preferably coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Split Urad Dal

Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the vegetables. For carrots, peel the outer skin of the carrot and finely chop the it. For beans, remove both corners of the beans and chop them finely.
Start with Tempering
- Heat oil in pan, and add mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds starts to sputter, add the urdhal and fry till it turns golden brown color. Now add broken chilli and fry for few seconds.
- To this add the chopped vegetables and ¼ cup of water to cook. Also add turmeric powder and required salt.
- Cover the pan and reduce the flame to medium and allow the vegetables to cook. Usually within 10 minutes the carrots and beans gets cooked completely. Intermittently open the pan and mix the vegetables. Make sure that the vegetables don't get burnt.
- When the vegetables are cooked completely, add the grated coconut and mix it well.
- Now the yummy carrot beans poriyal is ready to serve with sambar or any type of kuzhambu varities.
Notes
- Cooking of the vegetables : Carrot and Beans usually cook very fast, hence I prefer to cook this on a skillet. You can also cook it in the pressure cooker to save the time; however, it could get mushy.
- Spice : I made it very simple by adding just Red Chili in this recipe. Adding a teaspoon of Sambar Powder can be an alternative to this.
- Coconut : Conventionally we only add the grated coconut before turning off the flame. Instead, you can also grind coconut with green chili, ½ teaspoon of jeera and mix the powder to gain additional flavor and taste.
