Bean and vegetables kootu

I found this beans& vegetables mix at the bulk section in whole foods. It has a mix of green and white lentils, kidney beans, white beans , dried carrots and beans. Looked like a healthy option, so here's the recipe.

Ingredients

1. 1 cup of the 32 beans & veggie mix
   
2. Dry coconut powder - 3/4 spoons
   
3. Red chillies 1/2 pieces
   

Method

1. Soak the grains in hot water for half an hour. If you don't have time to soak, just wait for more than 7 whistles on your pressure cooker, otherwise cook as you would normally cook dhal.
   
2. In a pan take oil, add mustard seeds, urad and bengal gram dhal.
   
3. After the seeds splutter, add the red chillies and coconut and fry for about a minute
   
4. Add the cooked beans, some turmeric powder and salt to taste. These beans do tend to get very thick after cooking so add water as well.
   

P.S: Other ingredients to experiment with - Dry ginger powder, a spoon of tamarind paste, some peanuts or peanut powder..
