    tips for steaming beans

    • Trim and fine-chop beans
    • idiyappam plate with pores works best
    • Always make sure you add enough water 
    • spread and cook 
    • if you are doubling the quantity cook in batches to avoid crowding the beans

    I would recommend coconut oil for vegan coconut-based Indian poriyal. You can add any oil of your choice.
