Moong Bean / Green gram stir fry with coconut (Cherupayar Thoran - Kerala Style)

Mung bean stir fry with coconut, garlic and green chilly. A relatively simple Kerala side dish – prepared together with rice/rice porridge/kanji for lunch. A comfort food and a very common dish at Kerala homes. I always get good quality organic dal and pulses from Bigbasket’s organic section, when I was in Bangalore.

Do you have dry chilies also in this recipe?

The recipe doesn't have dry chillies. I used it as garnish.

I so love this thing. Tastes best when they service it with kanji and kaduku manga pickle at church after the long day good friday service :)

Totally agree. Kanji and payar is the best combination :)
