Ingredients
Winter Melon / Ash Gourd, cut into cubes – 2 cups
Red Chori / Azuki Beans / Red Beans or Black Eyed Beans – ½ cup
Coconut milk – 1 can
Green Chillies / Bird’s Eye Chillies / Thai Chillies, slit in half up to three quarters of the way – 3-4
Curry Leaves – 8-10
Salt
Coconut Oil – 1 tsp
Method: Cook the melon/ gourd and slit green chillies in about ½ cup boiling water till it is fully cooked but still maintains its shape. Wash and cook the beans well – pressure cooking may work out the best. Add the beans to the cooked melon, add coconut milk, curry leaves and salt to it. Let it almost come to a boil and remove from heat. Pour the coconut oil over it when it is is still hot so as to release the flavors. I usually do not temper any seasonings for olan but if you want you can temper some mustard seeds and dried red chillies and pour over the olan as well.
Happy Cooking!
