Red Chori/Van Payar stir fry

I had soaked the red chori for making banana flower thoran but ended up making this stir fry. My son liked to eat it as such. I never thought he would love it as he is a picky eater. These beans are quite big enough for a toddler to hold. So he enjoyed picking it and smashing it in his mouth. So the happiest part is I found one more that tickles his buds. :)

I got a tip: if you forget to soak the beans (any like green gram, red chori, black gram etc. ), boil water and put the grams in boiled water in a casserole. Keep it tightly covered for an hour. It'll be ready for cooking within that time. I tried this here and it worked really well. 

You need

• Red chori (van payar) - 1 cups
• Onion - 2
• Dry red chilli - 4
• Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
• Garlic - 3 cloves
• Oil for sauteeing

Method

• Soak red chori (tip above)
• Put it in a pressure cooker along with garlic and salt. 
• Cook for 2 whistles or until done in a pressure cooker. (My was very well soaked so took only 2 whistles to cook it)
• In a thick bottomed vessel heat oil
• Add mustard seeds
• When they splutter add sliced onions and broken red chillies. 
• Saute until they turn lightly pink. Add salt to taste (Remember you've cooked red chaouri with salt)
• Add the cooked chaori and saute until for 5-10 minutes on low flame.
