Beans Poriyal
"From Iyer Kitchen by Arun Ganapathy. Tastes like food from my relatives' kitchens in South India. Yum!
The key to this recipe is to chop the green beans small enough.
Goes well with rice and yogurt, rice and rasam, or with chappatis. You can substitute whole wheat tortillas for chappatis, if you can't find the real thing."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live in Seattle, but have also lived in the DC area, the Mid-west, California, the South, and New England, as well as China and India plus travel a fair bit, so I have experienced a good number of cuisines and like them all. I eat mostly vegetarian and mostly do a lot of scratch cooking. I am known for my creative use of leftovers and whatever is in the fridge. Too bad those recipes can't go easily into Zaar.</p>
