Masala Beans with Fenugreek

Aren’t you all sick of same style of green beans and potatoes?   Would you all want to try same old Green beans in a new style and taste?  I had come across this recipe in one of the cook books a long time back, when I say long time, it is definitely good over 9 years which is before I got married.  It became my favorite the first time I tried it.  Its been while I made this so kind of vaguely recalled the recipe, but still gave it a try..It was absolutely delicious…

Ingredients:

• 1 lb green beans,  cut it in an angle
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tbsp coriander seeds
• 1 tbsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 3/4 tsp red chili powder
• 2 tbsp kasoori methi
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• juice of 1/2 a lemon/lime
• 2 tbsp olive oil.
• 4 cups of water

Directions:

Wash and cut the beans in an angle and set aside.  Chop onion, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and turmeric in a chopper.  In a kadhai, heat the oil.  Add the onion mixture and sautee until a little brown.

In the meantime,  boil the water in a pan, blanche the beans in that water for about 2-3 minutes.  

Drain it and add the beans to the onion mixture.  Also add salt, red chili powder and garam masala to it too.

Mix it well and  cook it covered for 3-5 minutes.  Add kasoori methi and sautee for another 2 minutes.  After sautéing it , squeeze the lemon juice and mix.  Your masala beans are ready to eat.

Serve hot with chapati, or paratha with your favorite pickle or raita.
