dal side veg

 I've started liking to make two side dishes with dal.

 cumin potato

Cube 1 large potato and boil it for 10-15 min in water with 1 tsp salt.

Add 1 Tbsp ghee or oil and 1 tsp cumin seeds to pan over medium high heat + 1 tsp mustard seeds.  Wait for mustard to pop.  Toss potato in spiced oil.

Optional:  toasted slivers of almond, etc.

Green bean poorial

Goodly amount of green beans cut into 1" lengths.

1 Tbsp ghee or oil with 1 tsp mustard seed and a few Tbsp of urud dal (for crunch and nutty flavor).  Toss green beans in there ... add 1 Tbsp or two of water to let the green beans steam.  Add in 1-2 Tbsp grated fresh coconut.  A few dried red chilies at the beginning might be good.
