This tricoIor poriyal has three different colored veggies (carrots, beans and cabbage) and I have reserved this post for the Independence Day which we are celebrating today. Happy Independence Day to all the Indians !!!

1 green chilli

2 carrots (finely chopped)

¼ kg French beans

1 cup chopped cabbage

2tsp moong dal

1tbsp grated coconut

To temper:

1 tps Oil

½ tsp mustard seeds

1tsp urad dal

¼ tsp channa dal

2-3 dry red chillies

Pinch of asafetida

How to make it

• Wash all the veggies and finely chop it and keep aside.
• Wash and soak the moong dal in a cup of water for 15 minutes and cook it till it turns soft.
• In a wok heat oil and temper the items given. Once the urad dal and chana dal turns light golden brown add the onions and sauté till it turns translucent.
• Throw the green chillies and sauté.

• Now add the chopped veggies one-by-one and mix well.
• Sprinkle some water to the veggies and allow it to cook further. Add salt at this stage and check for the spiciness.

• Cover with the lid and cook till the veggies turn soft.
• At this stage add the cooked moong dal and stir well.
• Switch off the flame and add the grated coconut to the veggies.
• Serve with steamed rice along with any kuzhambhu of choice.

Notes:

Take care not to overcook moong dal. I used microwave oven to cook the dal. It took about 1-2 mins for me to cook.
