Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 medium tomato
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger. Dice the tomatoes.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they soften and the oil starts to separate.

Step 7

Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.

Step 8

Add the green beans to the pan. Stir well to coat the green beans with the spice mixture and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cover the pan. Let it cook for about 10-12 minutes until the green beans are tender.

Step 10

Uncover the pan, stir in the garam masala, and adjust the salt if necessary. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
