This healthy dish is ready in less than 20 minutes and goes very well with roti, chapati, rice, and even tastes great just by itself. This is one of my favourite side dishes, I make it very often. Perfect combination with rice and saaru (rasam).

It is finished with freshly grated coconut, coriander leaves, and lemon juice. To make beans palya, I highly recommend buying tender beans. Make sure you string them before chopping.
To make beans palya, I first wash and string the beans. I prepare the tempering with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, and chana dal. I then add chopped beans and saute for a few minutes, making sure they still have some crunch. I then finish it wil coconut, coriander leaves and lemon juice.
