Method

1
Get ready by washing the beans, carrot, cabbage, curry leaves and green chilli. Peel the carrot and onion, trim the beans, and grate the coconut. Chop the beans and carrot into small pieces, shred the cabbage, slit the green chilli, break the dry red chilli and chop the onion. Pat the curry leaves dry so they do not splutter in hot oil.
2
Heat the oil in a kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, dry red chilli, curry leaves and green chilli. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the mustard seeds crackle and the dal turns light golden.
