DALIMBI / VALACHI USAL

Ingredients:
3/4 cup Vaal (Field Beans)
1 tbsp Oil,
 ¼ tsp Mustard Seeds,
 ½ tsp Cumin seeds, 
1/8 tsp Asafoetida Powder, 
1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
4 Curry leaves
2 green chilies halved
4 tbsp coconut, grated
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1 tsp Jaggery
2 Kokum

Method:
Soak Vaal beans in lukewarm water for 10 to 12 hours. After 10 to 12 hours, drain water. Take a clean Cotton Cloth, transfer soaked Vaal beans in this cotton cloth. Hold all the edges together. Twist the edges and tie a knot tightly. Place in warm place for sprouting for about 8 to 10 hours. Once Vaal Beans are sprouted, loose the knot. Take a container half filled with lukewarm water. Transfer Vaal in it and let it stand for 10 minutes. Very gently remove the skin. These beans are very delicate and can get break because of harsh handling. After soaking 3/4 cup dried Vaal beans, we get 1¼ to 1½ cup Vaal / Dalimbya to make Usal.
Grind together coconut cumin seeds to a fine paste.
Heat a saucepan, add 1 tbsp Oil and wait until hot. Add and let splutter Mustard seeds. Add Cumin, Asafoetida, Turmeric Powder green chillies and Red Chili Powder. Also add Curry leaves and Corriander, stir for few seconds. Add peeled Vaal Seeds. Stir very gently. Add 1½ cup water, Kokum, and salt to taste. cover and cook for few minutes.
Once Vaal beans are half done, add coconut paste, Jaggery. Cover and cook for few minutes. Vaal seeds are very delicate so handle carefully.
