Instructions
 

Blanch the Beans:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  • Add the chopped beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn bright green and slightly tender.
  • Drain and immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This helps to retain their vibrant green color.

Heat the Oil:

Temper the Spices:

  • Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter.

Add the Beans:

  • Drain the blanched beans and add them to the pan. Stir well to combine with the tempered spices.

Seasoning:

  • Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the beans are coated with the spices.

Cooking the Beans:

  • Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the beans are tender yet still slightly crisp. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference for the level of crunchiness.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Optional: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Serve Hot:

  • Serve the beans fry hot as a delicious side dish. It pairs well with rice, roti (Indian flatbread), or as a standalone snack.
