STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH COCONUT
Everyone I cook for most often seems to love coconut; I've realized finally that it's a very easy way to keep them all happy. What I like about this particular dish is that the coconut adds flavor without excessive richness. Serve this as a side dish to a more formal meal or with lentils and rice for a simple dinner at home.

Steps:
- Combine the oil, yellow split peas, and mustard seeds, if using, in a large wok, kadai, or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the split peas turn golden brown. 1 to 2 minutes. (Cover if using mustard seeds-they pop and splatter-and cook until you hear them crackle.)
- Add the urad dal, chiles, curry leaves, if using, and cumin and cook uncovered, stirring, 1 more minute. (Stand back if using curry leaves; they spit when they hit the oil.)
- Add the asafoetida, if using, and 1/4 cup of the coconut and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the beans and salt and cook, stirring, 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup coconut, the saambhar or rasam powder, if using, and the water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Uncover and cook, stirring often, until all of the water has evaporated, about 5 more minutes. Taste for salt and serve hot.
GREEN BEANS THORAN (GREEN BEANS WITH COCONUT)
A delicious accompaniment to almost any Indian meal, this Kerala classic can be prepared with French beans, stringless beans, the oriental asparagus bean known as lobhia, or in fact almost any kind of firm vegetable cut into small pieces. Adjust the amount of chili to your personal preference. The original recipe called for 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, but this can be easily cut down. Use coconut oil, if you wish, to be authentic. For your convenience, this dish can be cooked ahead, and heated gently at the time of serving. Adapted from a recipe by Madhur Jaffrey.

Steps:
- Wash, string beans if necessary, make several bundles (for convenience) and slice them crosswise into 1/4-inch segments.
- Coarsely grind the shallots, green chilies, garlic, coconut, cumin and turmeric in a food processor or blender, and set to one side.
- Place the oil in a wok or large skillet, which has a lid, and heat over a medium-high flame.
- Add the mustard seeds and rice, and stir and saute for a few seconds until the mustard seeds begin to pop and splutter and the rice swells and turns golden.
- Add the curry leaves and red chili, and after a few more seconds, when the chilli swells and darkens, add the green beans.
- Continue to stir and fry for 2-3 minutes, then roughly pile them into a mound in the cooking vessel.
- Form a hole in the center of the mound and place within it the coarsely ground spices.
- Now cover over the spices with some of the beans, season with salt, and add the water to the pan.
- Immediately cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook approximately 10 minutes until the beans are tender.
- Mix all the ingredients together well, and serve hot.

GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD SEEDS, CASHEWS AND COCONUT
This fragrant, deeply flavored green bean dish works as an intense side dish for a simple meal or as a meatless main course in its own right. Take care when adding the mustard seeds to the skillet - they can pop and jump out of the pan as they heat, so stand back. If you can't find large flakes of dried coconut (also sometimes called chips), you can substitute shredded coconut, as long as it's unsweetened. But ground coconut will be too fine to add the necessary texture.
