Note: 

1. In original recipe they will grind the channa with  whole red chilli and asafetida, here I have used green chilli and ginger. It gives  more taste to usili.
2. After grinding the channa they are directly fried  well with oil but  here I have steamed instead of frying.
3. You can use Cabbage, Banana Flower ( vaazaippuu) , Beans, Capsicum, Carrot instead of Cluster beans.
4. It is very healthy and tasty paruppu usili.
