BEANS EGG PORIYAL
This is a diversion from the usual beans poriyal. Initially, I tried it with only onions and beans. Later I used tomatoes for this, which was very good, so I started using the onion-tomato combination for this poriyal with eggs. Here goes the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
Green beans, ¼ lbs.
Onion, small, 1.
Tomato, small, ½.
Ginger-garlic paste.
Eggs, 1-2.
Chili powder, 1 teaspoon.
Salt, as per taste.
Mustard seeds and urad dhal for seasoning.

PREPARATION:
Chop the beans into small pieces as well as the onion and tomato. Heat a kadai with oil and when it is heated, add some mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds splutters, add a small amount (may be ¼ teaspoon) of urad dhal. When the urad dhal turns brown, add the chopped onion and sauté for a minute. Then add the tomatoes and ginger-garlic paste and sauté everything well till the onion and tomato are well blended. Add the beans and sauté for a minute and later add a teaspoon of chili powder and salt. Now add around ½ cup of water and cook them closed for 5-10 minutes until the beans are well cooked. When the beans are well cooked and dry, break 2 eggs over the beans and scramble the eggs well with the beans. Turn off the stove when the eggs are adequately cooked. Some black pepper may also be added at the end with the eggs. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve.
