Super easy side dish to eat with a curry. French, Stick, Runner or what ever you know the beans as, they have a wonderful taste and will also accompany many other dishes, not just for curry addicts. Ingredients:
2 cups of chopped green beans |
2 tablespoons oil |
1 large onion, sliced |
1 cup lentils, cooked |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric powder |
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds |
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed |
10 curry leaves |
2 tablespoons coconut, grated (dessicated ) |
salt |
Directions:
1. Top and tail the beans and cut into short lengths.(I prefer to finely slice the beans as they cook quicker ). In a pot boil 4 cups water and cook the beans till just soft.
2. In the meanwhile, heat the oil in a pot and fry the onions, add the cooked lentils and all of the spices. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Drain the beans and add to the spice mixture, stir to coat with the spices and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add the coconut and stir.
5. Adjust seasoning and add salt if required.
6. Serve and enjoy.
7. We are having this tonight along with a tender steak.
