Ingredients and Method to make Black bean salad
2 cups cooked black beans
1 green bell pepper de seeded and cut fine (capsicum/ koda molagai)
1 heaped cup corn kernels  cooked until soft
1 ripe avocado de seeded, peeled and cut into small pieces
2 jalapenos cut fine (or to taste)
1/2 cup finely cut cilantro (coriander leaves/ dhania/ kothamalli)
salt to taste
juice of half lemon (or to taste)

Soak dry black beans for 6 to 8 hours or overnight in sufficient water. Drain water, replace with fresh water and cook on the stove top or in the pressure cooker until soft. Drain any excess water and keep aside to cool to room temperature. If you are using canned beans, drain and rinse the beans before using in the recipe.

Cook corn kernels on the stove top until soft. Drain excess water and keep aside. If you are using frozen corn, you can just quickly cook it in the microwave in a few minutes.
