This is another of my favourite curries from what my mom makes. This is a curry which is very fragrant and super delicious. We usually serve it with rice, and also idlis and rotis.
Do try it and you will not be sorry.
Ingredients
Boiled Toor dal - 1/2 cup
Green Beans, cut into 1" pieces - 3/4 cup
Potato, cut into chunks - 3/4 cup
Tendle/Tondekayi/Gherkins, cut into halves - 3/4 cup
Fresh/Frozen Coconut - 1/4 cup
Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Fennel Seeds/Saunf - 1/2 tsp
Cloves/Lavang - 3
Dalchini/ Cinnamon- 1/2 inch piece
Dried Red Chillies - 4
Tamarind - 2 small pieces
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
Method
- Grind the coconut, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cloves, cinnamon, red chillies, tamarind, turmeric powder with little water to form a fine paste.
- The dal should be boiled to be very soft and mushy.
- Boil the veggies with little water and salt, together or one by one till soft but not mushy.
- To the pan with veggies, add the boiled dal and the ground paste, adjust salt and boil till the raw smell goes away from the masala.
- Ready to serve with hot rice or idlis or rotis.
Note : You can add other veggies also to this, but my mom says that the combination of green beans, potato and gherkins works best for this dish.

I never knew this veggie was called Gherkins. Here we get them in pickle. Is it the Kovaka.
