Beans Parupu Usili

Thoor dal contains proteins. It is very tasty and good for health. At least we have to add thoor dal twice in a week. It is a traditional south Indian curry. Generally we can use beans, kothavarangai and avarakai for usili preparation. Today I have an idea to prepare with beans. Some people don’t like beans poriyal, we can make beans poriyal in a different way, like adding thoor dal with beans. Sure they will like this dish. Usili goes very well with morekuzhambu. I used to prepare this side dish for morekuzhambu.

I learnt this dish from my patti.
