Servings 4 servings
Calories 92kcal
Ingredients
- ½ lb Green Beans about 2 cups when chopped into ¼ inch slices
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 8 curry leaves
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- salt to taste
To grind together
- ¼ cup grated coconut
- 2 Thai green chillies
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan.Throw in the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add the curry leaves at this time.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the beans and turmeric powder and give it a quick stir. Close the pan and let the beans cook in the low heat.
- Pulse the coconut and green chillies in a food processor (I use the small jar of the Indian mixer)
- Once the green beans are tender, add the coconut mixture to it. Add salt and mix well. Serve with rice or rotis.
Notes
Sprinkle a little water to the pan and close it so there is some moisture to cook the beans, if you want it.
I use freshly frozen grated coconut that you get in most Indian grocery stores. Break out a little and microwave for 30 secs before you grind it.
