Wash & chop the green beans. I prefer them chopped fine. Heat oil in a sauce pan, add mustard and cumin seeds. When they are done spluttering add the urad dal and green chillis and asafoetida. Add the green beans. Cover and cook for a few min. And then cook uncovered (else the beans change color). Add salt to taste. And add the shredded coconut. You can cook until beans are soft. I prefer it al dente. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
