Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- Cluster Beans – 400gms
- Onions – 125gms
- Bengal Gram – 1 1/2tsps
- Black Gram – 1 1/2tsps
- Mustard Seeds – 1tsp
- Cumin Seeds – 1tsp
- Salt to Taste
- Turmeric Powder – 1/4tsp
- Red Chili Powder – 1tsp
- Curry Leaves – Few
- Oil – 2 1/2Tbsps
Preparations:
Wash
cluster beans. Take one bean and observe the sides. Break the tip of the bean
with your finger. Now break a piece and pull the piece away from you so that
the fiber gets detached from the piece. (Watch carefully the movie to
understand better) Hold the protruding fiber and pull it downwards so that it
gets detached from the bean. Like this remove the fiber from the beans as much
a s possible. Repeat the process and break the cluster beans into medium sized
pieces and remove the fiber.
Take
the bean pieces into a microwave safe bowl and add 40ml water. Place this bowl
in oven and cover it partially. Cook the beans on high power for 5 minutes.
Stir once and cover cooked for 7 minutes on high power. Allow 3 minutes
standing time and remove the bowl from oven.
Peel
onions and chop them finely.
Method:
Heat
a pan and add oil to it. When oil is hot add the bengal gram and black gram and
fry till the seeds start changing color. Then add mustard seeds and cumin
seeds. Fry the seeds splutter. Then add the curry leaves and chopped onions and
mix well. Fry till onions turn translucent. Now add the cooked cluster beans
and mix. Then add salt, red chili powder and turmeric powder. Mix all well and
cook covered for 2 minutes stirring in between if required.Transfer the curry to a serving bowl and
serve hot with plain rice.
Points to Remember:
Do
not be tempted to cut the cluster beans instead of stringing them. If you cut
the cluster beans the fiber will remain and while you are eating it will
trouble you. So it is better to string the beans and remove fiber as much as
possible.
While
cooking the vegetable in microwave oven, the timings given here are to be taken
as guideline. The timings of cooking may differ from oven to oven depending
upon the capacity and make. Cook till the vegetables are cooked properly adding
required amount of water. The beauty of cooking in a microwave oven is the
vegetables will not become mushy if they are cooked for a few minutes more. If
you add more water while cooking the vegetables, drain the excess water after
the vegetables are cooked and use this water in dal preparation or in any gravy
preparations.
As
there is no water left in the vegetables after cooking in a microwave oven take
care while seasoning the curry. After adding the vegetable to the seasoning,
cook covered for 2 minutes. Take care to stir it in between, so that the curry
will not burn at the bottom of the pan.
