- Pressure Cook the Soaked Whole Green Beans along with salt up to 2 whistles on medium flame. If you have not soaked the Whole Green Gram overnight, then you may have to pressure cook it for more time so that it is cooked well and has a thick consistency. Do not overcook or it may become a paste.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok. Splutter mustard seeds.
- Add the chopped onions, garlic, green chillies and curry leaves and saute.
- When the onions become golden brown, stir in 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp red chilly powder and 1/2 tsp coriander powder. Saute for 2 minutes.
- Next, add the cooked green moong to the above masala and mix well.
- Add more water and salt if required and bring it to a boil stirring occasionally. You may garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
