Beans Poricha Kootu | Green Bean With Lentil curry
Green Beans and Bengal Gram cooked in spicy coconut paste.
This is one such kootu that is a perfect treat for spicy taste-buds. Usually my mom use to prepare this recipe with cauliflower, for a change I tried with beans and even I recommend with cabbage. This comforting side dish goes well with roti / paratha. Sometimes with Indian breakfast like Idli, dosa and even with Kerela style Appam too.
