Green Bean Subji
Everyday Green Bean Dish
Why This Recipe Works
A simple summer vegetable dish that celebrates the arrival of fresh beans. It relies on caramelized shallots and ginger to provide a sweet, savory depth to the crisp greens.
Instructions
Heat the oil and fry the curry leaves and mustard seeds until they crackle, then stir in the garlic, chile, and ginger.
Add the shallots and cook patiently for 12 to 15 minutes until they are golden and sweet.
Add the tomatoes and spices, then toss in the green beans with a splash of water. Cover the pan to trap the steam.
Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the beans have softened but still retain a hint of their fresh crunch. Serve hot.
