Beans Carrot Poriyal

This is one of the dishes i make almost every week. It's really quick and i also use short cuts for this.
I use the frozen french cut green beans and match stick carrots. Cutting the carrots and the beans is the only work here, and by using the short cut, that work is eliminated. Hence, my love for this recipe.


Thin cut carrots - 3 to 4
Thin cut green beans - 1 lb
Onion - 1/2
Green chilis - 3 to 4
Grated coconut - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Garlic - 3 cloves
Coriander powder - 1 tsp

Tadka:
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Channa and urad daal - 1 tsp each

In a pan, add the oil. Add the tadka ingredients, and when the seeds splutter, add the garlic, onions and green chilis.
Cook till the onions are soft, and add the carrots. When the carrots are cooked half way, add the beans.
Cook till soft, and add the salt, and coriander powder.
Add the grated coconut and remove from heat.
