Green Bean Poriyal

Poriyal is a South Indian vegetable dish flavored with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and coconut (all readily available at Indian grocery stores). I also use split white urad dāl, which is widely used in South Indian cuisine for its nutty crunch. There are many ways of preparing it with nearly any vegetable, such as carrots, cabbage, and broccoli; I’ve used green beans here. Serve with Rotli, Sāmbār, or
