0 - boiling water
1/3 C grated, unsweetened coconut

1 - bay leaf
1/4 t cumin
1/4 t turmeric
1 t salt
2 T vegetable oil

Drain mung beans and cover with just enough boiling water to cook them without burning. When cooked and very little moisture remains, add coconut, chopped green chilies, grated onion, bay leaf, cumin, turmeric, and salt. Mix thoroughly and simmer, covered, over very low heat for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, brown sliced onion in the vegetable oil. Remove mung beans from heat and stir in the browned onion. Serve very hot.
