Coconut Green Beans
I love this simple Indian vegetable dish and its so easy to make
Ingredients:
- Green beans can also make it with okra
- 1/4 red onion
- a handful of frozen coconut (this is great from Indian stores)
- salt to taste
- mustard seeds
- garlic
- 2 small green chili's
- cumin seeds a few
- a little masala powder
- a few curry leaves (again from Indian store, its not required though)
Method:
- cook the green beans and slice, I used a microwave bag yesterday and steamed it very quick to do
- heat canola oil and pop mustard seeds with curry leaves and green chili then add onion, garlic, cumin and saute for 5 minutes
- after a few minutes add a little salt and masala powder, add green beans and coconut saute for 3 min and its done.
I ate this with kala (black) chana and rice, lovely. Its a great vegetable side dish with any cuisine
Enjoy......

ReplyDeleteWhen I was in London weeks ago (seemed like eonsssssssssssss), anyway, I had Curried Okro (Okra) at an Indian Resturant and couldn't shake off the feeling of something ODD as I grew up on Okro cooked in a diametrically opposed manner. Anyhow, someday I may try it in my own kitchen!
