Kothavarangai Karamani Paruppu Usili

Paruppu usili is a popular South Indian Poriyal or stir fry variety that goes well with sambar, more kuzhambu, and rasam. Many vegetables can be used to make paruppu usili, the most well-known of which is beans. I made it with a slight twist by combining cluster beans and long beans. Many people believe that making paruppu usili is a complicated process, but as you can see in the recipe, I have simplified the process by steaming the dhal.
