  • 1 Tsp oil
  • ¼ Tsp methi seeds
  • 1 Tsp sesame seeds/yellu
  • 2 broken dry red chillies
  • A small pinch asafoetida
  • 1 Tbsp grated fresh coconut

For tadka:

Method
  1. Wash the cluster beans. Chop them into 1" pieces
  2. Heat oil in a pan. Add methi seeds, sesame seeds, broken red chillies, asafoetida. Fry for a minute on low flame
  3. Add chopped cluster beans. Stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes
  4. Add both types of coconut. Stir
  5. Take it off the flame. Once cooled, add salt, jaggery, tamarind extract and grind into a chutney with little water
  6. Make tadka with mustard seeds and curry leaves. Pour over chutney

Notes
Make sure the cluster beans are tender. They cook quickly and are tasty

Only fresh coconut or only desiccated dry coconut can be used. I use both for some chutneys for extra flavour and texture
