 Beans Thengai Podi usili is a quick and tasty, dry side dish that can be prepared within 5 minutes. No need for soaking the dal for this usili. With some Thengai Podi this poriyal is a perfect instant Usili.

Now that I started doing RK sir’s pressure cooker method it is becoming a part of my everyday cooking. When it comes to cooking techniques, this is very similar to my Beetroot poriyal. Thengai Podi just takes the beans curry to the next level😋 

If you are following my Instagram feeds you would have seen Thengai Podi based cabbage and asparagus poriyal. Few weeks back my sister saw the feed and asked me if I tried it with Beans. Being a big fan of paruppu usili she asked if it tasted like paruppu usili.

I immediately wanted to try it. Initially I followed the regular stove top method and we all liked it. Two weeks back I tried it with pressure cooker and need not mention this is was super fast. In stove top version I use to cook for a minute after adding Thengai Podi, but with direct pressure cooker method I didn’t do – still no change in the taste.

Beans Paruppu Usili is my all time favorite curry. Sometimes the soaking time just cuts me off from doing it fpr a weekday lunch. This quick instant version is perfect for busy morning. Paruppu and Thengai flavour.

 Beans Thengai Usili is,

✅Made in pressure cooker
✅Instant Usili
✅Cooked within 5 minutes
✅Perfect for busy morning
✅can be adopted for any quantity

Notes

  1. The poriyal can be done in stove top instead of pressure cooker. Cover with a lid and cook veggie
  2.  Tempering can be done separately and added to the curry
  3. Paruppu Podi can be used instead of Thengai podi
  4. 3 liter cooker can also be used
  5.  If you are trying for the first time add 1 tbsp of water and cook after releasing the pressure to remove excess water
  6.  Use Atleast 1/4 quantity of the Vegetable to the cooker size to avoid cooker form getting burnt
  7. For any non- watery vegetable this recipe will work
  8.  Use a 2 liter cooker which whistles regularly
