Recipe:
Separate the seeds from fresh flat beans.
Soak flat bean seeds in water for about 4-5 hrs. Press each soaked seed and remove the outer layer. Put them in a tissue paper to remove the water content.
Keep oil in a thick bottomed vessel and heat it. Put flat bean seeds in oil and fry them until they turn golden in color.
Take them from the oil and put them in a tissue paper to absorb the oil content.
Put curry leaves in a microwave for few seconds and mash it into small pieces.
Put mustard seeds, peanuts, cashew nut pieces, dry coconut pieces, 2-3 tsp oil in a pan and fry them in medium flame. Once they turn golden in color, add curry leaves, chilly powder, turmeric powder, asafetida powder and fry them for about 5-10 seconds.
Add fried flat bean seeds, salt and mix them well. Once they are cooled to room temperature, keep them in an airtight container. Serve along with coffee or tea.
