String Beans with Toasted Chana Dal
YIELD: 3 CUPS (711 G)
My mom started making this dish a few
years ago, and I just had to get the
recipe. With the addition of lentils, it’s
very South Indian-inspired, and it’s a
wonderful way to get a little added
protein with your veggies.
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon split gram (chana dal),
soaked in hot water
4 cups (about 1½ pounds [680 g]) green
