Black eyed bean sundal

     That was a funny week. Oops ! Sorry ! DIET WEEK :P Planned to be in Self-ban for me and Compulsory ban for my H(!) by not having Rice items in any form Idly, Dosai, Steamed rice etc. etc. (even didnt used Rice flour) completely for 5 days. Somehow managed to run 4 days successfully but was totally blank what to prepare for our Day 5 breakfast also got bit bored of having chapathi, roti, sandwich, toast etc. which was my saviour during all 4 days. Browsed ! Browsed !! and Browsed!!! Nothing worked out :( Suddenly this dish got flashed in my mind. Was bit sceptical b'cos, am sure, my H will not like this, even me. But what to do BAN is BAN, somehow controlled my taste bud and tried it by adding some flavored ingredients and ended up my Day 5 breakfast finally with this healthy and tasty sundal. Here it is for your reviews :)

ALL YOU NEED:

Black-eyed Bean	250 gms
Chopped Onion	1 No.
Green Chilly	2 Nos.
Coriander Leaf	1 Twig
Smashed Ginger	1/2 inch
Smashed Garlic	4 Nos.
Curry Leaf	1 Twig
Urad Dhall	1 spoon
Mustard	1 spoon
Salt	To Taste
Oil	1 drop

METHOD:
     Soak black-eyed bean overnight. Pressure cooker it for 4 whistles by adding pinch of salt. Once done, drain the excess water. Heat a spoon drop of oil (DIET here :P) in a pan. Add mustard, once splutters, add on Urad dhall, once it turns into color, add chopped onion, chopped green chilly, curry leaf, corainder leaf, smashed ginger, smashed garlic and picnh of salt.. Once raw smell goes off, add the pressure cooked bean, adjust with salt and do fine sauting until it coats with the garnished items. Thats it !

Note: Can also add grated coconut before you put off the flame which gives rich flavor and taste.
