Alsande Upkari (Long Green Beans/Yardlong Beans stir fry)

I just love yardlong beans stir fry. Simple yet tasty, healthy and very easy to prepare. A spicy side dish that we konkani's prepare for lunch and dinner, normally eaten as a side dish with rice. We konkanis prepare a upakari every day, with almost every vegetable.

Ingredients:

2 cups of 1/2" pieces of yardlong beans
2 tablespoons of grated coconut
1 tea spoon mustard
4 chopped green chillies
few curry leaves
1 tea spoon urad dal
Salt to taste
