Ingredients:

Serving

250 g fresh green beans
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp dried lentils or 1 tbsp mung dal
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/8 tsp salt
1 pinch turmeric powder

Directions:

Heat oil in a saucepan on a low flame and add the mustard seeds.
When they begin to sputter, add the chopped french beans, lentils, salt, turmeric powder and water.
The water should be sufficient to cover the beans, so add some more if necessary.
Cover the saucepan tightly and cook on a low flame for about 30 minutes or until the beans are well cooked.
Check to see that the water is sufficient (that is, the mixture isn't dry) every 10 minutes, with stirring, and add more water if necessary.
After 30 minutes most of the water should have evaporated.
Switch off burner, remove from flame and serve hot.
