|
Ingredients:
2 tbsp oil1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds 1 1/2 lbs green beans, fresh or frozen, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 3 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (unpeeled if thin-skinned) 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder 3/4 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
Directions:
1. In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over high heat until a couple of mustard seeds thrown in start to sputter. Add remaining mustard seeds and cover quickly.2. When seeds stop popping in a few seconds, uncover and reduce heat to medium. Add green beans and potatoes. 3. Sprinkle mixture with coriander, turmeric, cayenne and salt. Mix well. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp water. Reduce heat to low (see Tip, left). Cover and cook, stirring once to prevent sticking, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Serves 6 to 8 - Tip: Make sure that there is an audible sizzle at all times to indicate that vegetables are cooking.
I have cooked this dish — a family recipe — for more than 40 years. It is excellent as a side dish to chicken, fish and pork entrees.
