Beans Masala Curry(Dry Version)

Another session of blogging marathon has started and for this session I chose the dry vegetable sautee as theme. Today's recipe is a simple and interesting curry with beans which goes very well with rice and roti. We like to have this one as an accompaniment for rasam rice or any variety rice.
Here beans is available in a big pack in the farmers market and cannot consume it in a day.Whenever I buy beans make poriyal for a day and the remaining beans will be used for some variety rice and this dry curry.Now to the recipe.................
