Ingredients
1tbspvegetable oil(I am currently using Grape seed oil for Indian cooking)
Heat oil in a sauté pan or kadhai on medium heat. Add mustard seeds.
Once the seeds start to crackle, add curry leaves, green chilies, and onions. Sauté for about 2 minutes till the onions start to soften.
Add the chopped beans, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix everything together and cook covered for about 5 minutes till the beans are almost done. Check in between and add a little water if you see the beans are sticking to the pan. (You can also cook the beans beforehand by steaming them or cooking in the microwave on high power for 2-3 minutes)
Add the grated coconut, mix everything well and cook open for another 5 minutes with occasional stirring. Make sure there is no water left from the previous step.
