          I love this usili for its texture. I make it very rarely,dont know the reason. I eat the veggi that I hate too,if its made in the form of usili. So here is the way I make.

INGREDIENTS:        

To grid :

To Temper:

Method:

1. Cut cluster beans into desired length and cook till soft with salt and turmeric.
2. Grind chilli,asafoetida,salt and jeera first into a coarse mixture,then add the soaked dal and grind coarsely.(Make sure u add no water while grinding)
3. Grease the idly plates with oil and steam the ground mixture for 5-6 minutes. (fill the mixture in the idly plates loosely)
4. Crumble the steamed dal and keep it aside.
5. Heat a pan with oil and temper it with mustard and curry leaves. Add the cooked cluster beans and fry for a  minute and then add the crumbled dal and mix well.
6. After a 2 minutes,add coconut if desired(I dint add) and stir well for a minute.
7. Thats it, the usili is ready,serve as accompaniment for rice. ( We prefer usili with more kuzhambu)
