Alsande Upkari-stir fry with Chinese Long Beans

Long china beans is called as "Alsande" in the Southern regions of India. We love this stir fry as it is very simple and delicious. This goes great with rice, dalithoy(a dal curry) and pickle. If you don't like long china beans you can substitute cauliflower, potato and string beans and make it the exact way.


1/2 pack Chinese Long Beans
1 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2 dried red chillies
2 tsp coconut gratings
2 tsp olive oil
salt to taste.

Heat oil in a pan. Add the red chilies, urad dal and mustard. When the mustard begins to pop, add the beans. Sprinkle some water to the pan. Cover and cook on medium heat till 3/4th done. Finally add salt and cook till done.

Enjoy!
