Tuvar lilva vengaya sundal/ Tuvar lilva onion sundal

When I was young, my mom used to make fantabulous mochai vengaya sundal. Mochai as everyone knows is very healthy and very rich in iron.  I couldn't find mochai in both UK and US so easily. When I found a packet of frozen tuvar lilva beans, I thought I could replicate the mochai sundal with tuvar lilva beans and it worked wonderfully well.

Ingredients

Frozen tuvar lilva beans                                      1 whole packet
Onion                                                                   1 large
Red chilli powder                                                 1 tsp
Salt                                                                        As required

To temper

Canola oil                                                            1 tsp
Mustard seeds                                                      1/2 tsp
Curry leaves                                                         1 sprig


Method

1. Pressure cook tuvar lilva beans with just the amount of salt for it.
2. Dice onion as small as you can.
3. Heat a stir fry pan on medium heat and add oil and mustard seeds to splutter
4. Add curry leaves to splutter too. Add diced onions. Reduce the heat to low add required amount of salt for just the onion and mix well. Increase the heat to medium.
5. When the onion becomes translucent (like in the first 5 mins), add red chilli powder, mix well and add the cooked drained tuvar lilva beans and mix well too.
6. Leave it on stove for around 5 mins for the flavors to infuse. Remove from heat and the sundal is ready.
