    Ingredients
      

    • 500 g Long beans
    • coconut oil / vegetable oil
    • ¼ teaspoon mustard seed
    • 1 sprig curry leaves
    • 1 number onion (medium)
    • 1 teaspoon ginger (crushed)
    • 1 teaspoon garlic (crushed)
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
    • 1 tablespoon chilli powder
    • salt

    Instructions
     

    • 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 teaspoon 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 teaspoon 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.
