Beans Curry with Roasted Gram

I had read this recipe from a tamil magazine long time ago. When I get good quality beansI stock it and will make this recipe for sure as Shweets loves it a lot. K advises me not to use grated coconut in vegetable curries ..hmmm health conscious..but will always request Mutton Biriyani  for Sunday lunch. I really donno the logic behind that. Anyways this curry is very tasty and goes along well with Sambar and Rasam rice.
