Ingredients
French beans / Green beans
1/2 kg
mustard seeds
1/4 tsp
curry leaves
1 sprig
shallot / small onion
6 numbers
turmeric powder

salt
coconut oil / vegetable oil

1 1/4 cups

Steps
-
Chop beans into small pieces. Cut shallots.
-
Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard seeds and then add curry leaves. Add shallots and saute it until soft and translucent. Add turmeric powder and saute it.
- In a blender or mixi, crush garlic and green chilly well. Then add coconut and cumin. Cumin is optional. I don't add cumin usually. Crush it just to blend everything well. ** Don't grind.
-
Add crushed mixture to the pan and saute for a couple of minutes. Don't let it brown.
-
Then add chopped beans and enough salt. Cover and cook. Don't add water. It naturally has water in it, which releases when they are cooked.
-
Stir in between. Otherwise, it can get burnt. Cook it until beans is done. Serve with rice 🙂
Notes
Coconut is the key ingredient in this recipe. Never compromise on that 🙂
