Ingredients
Long beans
500 g
coconut oil / vegetable oil
mustard seed
1/4 tsp
curry leaves
1 sprig
onion (medium)
1 number
ginger (crushed)
1 tsp
garlic (crushed)
1 tsp
turmeric powder
1/2 tsp
chilli powder
1 tbsp
salt
Steps
-
Cut long beans into 1 inch long pieces. If the beans are matured (slightly yellowish), take out the seeds and use only seeds. Thinly slice onion. You can also use shallots instead of onion.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet (Cast iron skillet works well). Splutter mustard seeds and then add curry leaves.
-
Add chopped long beans, sliced onions, ginger, garlic, turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt. Add 1 tsp oil and stir it well until well combined. Cover and cook. Don't add water. It naturally has a lot of water in it, which releases when they are cooked.
-
Cook in medium heat until water gets almost dried up. Stir in between, otherwise it can get burnt. It might take around 15 - 20 minutes.
-
Add 1- 2 tsp oil, saute it for around 5 minutes in medium flame until it gets roasted well. Serve with rice 🙂
Notes
Don't add water while cooking long beans for better taste.
