coconut oil / vegetable oil
¼teaspoonmustard seed

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.
