Steps:
- In a large wok or frying pan, combine oil, yellow split peas, and mustard seeds, if using, over medium high heat. Cover, if using mustard seeds, as they will pop, until you hear them crackle. Cook, stirring, until split peas are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add gram beans and chiles. Carefully add curry leaves, if using, as they will splatter. Add cumin and cook, uncovered, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add asafetida, if using, and 1/4 cup coconut. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add green beans and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
- Add remaining 1/4 cup coconut, the saambhar or rasam powder, if using, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until beans are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until all of the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes more; season with salt. Serve immediately.
STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH COCONUT
Everyone I cook for most often seems to love coconut; I've realized finally that it's a very easy way to keep them all happy. What I like about this particular dish is that the coconut adds flavor without excessive richness. Serve this as a side dish to a more formal meal or with lentils and rice for a simple dinner at home.

Steps:

- Add the urad dal, chiles, curry leaves, if using, and cumin and cook uncovered, stirring, 1 more minute. (Stand back if using curry leaves; they spit when they hit the oil.)
- Add the asafoetida, if using, and 1/4 cup of the coconut and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the beans and salt and cook, stirring, 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup coconut, the saambhar or rasam powder, if using, and the water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, season with salt and add the green beans. Boil 1 minute, drain and rinse with cold water, then place on a kitchen towel to dry thoroughly. (If vegetables aren't dry when you add them to the hot wok or pan, they will splutter and braise instead of stir-frying.) Place within reach of your wok or pan.
- Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in a small bowl or measuring cup and place within reach of your wok or pan. Place the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in another small container near the burner.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for no more than 10 seconds, and then add the green beans. Toss together, then add the soy sauce and sherry and stir-fry for one to two minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender. Remove from the heat and serve.
