Ingredients

• 450 grams green beans
• 200 grams white button mushrooms
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons ginger
• 1 medium tomato
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the green beans. Cut them into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger. Dice the tomato into small cubes.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the diced tomato, turmeric powder, ground coriander, red chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until the tomato breaks down into a paste.

Step 9

Add the green beans and mushrooms to the skillet. Toss to coat them in the spice mixture.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining salt and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still have a slight crunch, and the mushrooms are soft.

Step 11

Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Step 12

Stir in the garam masala and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm as a side dish or with steamed rice or flatbreads.
