Beans and Carrot thoran

Fresh beans is a rarity in Calicut unlike in Coorg where only fresh veggies were available. So when I saw those pretty tender beans in the market I bought it without a second thought and even the carrots were fresh I mean like the ones you get in Coorg. I made up my mind then and there that it is going to be beans and carrot thoran with hot rice for dinner today.
I managed to get a pic of those fresh carrots I was talking about .....could'nt get the beans though. If I see yummy looking carrots like this .....I just grab them.... wouldn't you too.
