Paruppu usili

It`s my favourite among karamathu.It can be prepared with vegetables like beans,vazhakkai (raw plantain), avarakkai,vazhapoo,kothavarangai (cluster beans),cabbage
Ingredients:
Gram dhal / Kadalai paruppu - 2 tbsp
Toor dhal / Thuvaram paruppu - 2 tbsp
Urad dhal / uluthamparuppu - 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds / kadugu - 1 tsp
Red chilly / Vathamilagai - 2 or 3 nos
Asafoetida / Perungayam - a pinch
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Salt - to taste
Method:
Soak toor dhal and gram dhal together for an hour in luke warm water.Drain the water and grind the dhals along with red chilly,salt,asafeotida  into a fine paste with no water.Microwave this paste  for a minute or  two ( this helps to evaporate the excess water in the paste) and crumble it in a blender for a minute to get a nice flour like consistency. Chop the beans (or any  vegetable of  your choice)  and microwave it for 2 min.Heat  a little oil in  a heavy bottom kadai,add mustard seeds and urad dhal. when the mustard splutters, add baked beans, turmeric powder (a pinch) and a pinch of salt (as we already added salt in our paste)..Saute for few minutes.Now add the crumbled dhal and mix well.
