  • 680 grams Green beans
  • 1/4 Large red onion
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Red chili powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Urad dal This is optional. If you don't have it in your pantry, don't worry about it!
  • 2 cups water
  • 1.5 tbsp Olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Cut the beans into half inch pieces and dice the
    onions.
  • In a large pan, heat the oil.
  • When the oil is hot, bring the pan to medium-high heat and add the urad dal.
  • It will take about 30 seconds for the urad dal to brown. After that, add the diced onions.
  • Sauté the onions until they are translucent.
  • Then add the green beans.
  • Immediately after, add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder and salt and stir well to ensure the beans are coated with the spices.
  • Let it fry for 2-3 minutes and then add 2 cups water
  • Close the pan with a lid and let it cook together for about 10-15 minutes until the beans are a little soft. Stir occasionally to ensure the beans don't stick to the bottom. If the beans don't feel soft enough, you can add more water.
  • Open the lid and let the remaining water cook off. Your beans are ready!
