Beans Thengai Podi usili is a quick and tasty, dry side dish that can be prepared within 5 minutes. No need for soaking the dal for this usili. With some Thengai Podi, this poriyal is a perfect instant Usili. Now that I started doing RK sir’s pressure cooker method it is becoming a part of my everyday cooking. When it comes to cooking techniques, this is very similar to my Beetroot poriyal. Thengai Podi just takes the beans curry to the next level😋
If you are following my Instagram feeds you would have seen Thengai Podi-based cabbage and asparagus poriyal. A few weeks back my sister saw the feed and asked me if I tried it with Beans. Being a big fan of paruppu usili she asked if it tasted like paruppu usili.
I immediately wanted to try it. Initially, I followed the regular stovetop method and we all liked it. Two weeks back I tried it with a pressure cooker and need not mention this is was super fast. In the stovetop version, I use to cook for a minute after adding Thengai Podi, but with the direct pressure cooker method I didn’t do - still no change in the taste. Beans Paruppu Usili is my all-time favorite curry. Sometimes the soaking time just cuts me off from doing it for a weekday lunch. This quick instant version is perfect for a busy morning. Paruppu and Thengai flavor. Beans Thengai Usili is, ✅Made in a pressure cooker ✅Instant Usili ✅Cooked within 5 minutes ✅Perfect for a busy morning ✅can be adopted for any quantity
