Long beans, are like any other beans except, its pod grow longer, about half a yard long and hence its also known as Yard long beans. They belong to the legume family (Cowpea / Blackeyedpea) and taste similar regular green beans but with less sweetness. Good when stir fried or steamed. Here's a simple stir fry version seasoned with Indian spices.
Normally a bunch might have about 50 to 60 beans, my recipe is for half of that. They can be refridgerated for 2 days but taste better when fresh and bright green.
Here's one version of our family Idli podi recipe taken from my grandma's diary. Basically this podi is made with Whole Black gram with skin on, but ran out of those in my pantry and had to go with split black gram.

Rasam prepared with water extracted from the boiled dhal and some usual ingrdients
Masoor dal, is a kind of red lentil mostly used in Northern India. They come as Saboot (whole ) or in split form and are quite bland tastwise. They suit for dhal preparations, sambar or khathi lentil or mudda varieties but something extra needs to be added to make it palatable. Normally we would prefer this dal with combination of veggie, well seasoned and spice it up to include in our diet. This is a thick version of sambar with my choice of veggie(brinjal), flavoured with garam masala included sambar powder.
