This curry was served in one of my friends party it was yummy so I wanted to try this recipe for sure, today I tried this same as she did it ,it has come out great , I would like
to share with all.


INGREDEINTS:

Oil for poppu/tadka/for tempering
6 cups fresh beans, chopped into bits.
1 tspn. Mustard seeds.
¼ tspn fennel seeds.
Few curry leaves.
2 bay leaves.
4 tomatoes chopped.
2 onions, chopped.
¼ tspn turmeric powder.
½ tspn red chili powder.
1 tspn garam masala powder.
1 tspn ginger/garlic paste.
1-2 tspn salt( according to taste).
Fresh coriander springs, chopped.


METHOD:

Heat oil in a sauce pan, when the oil is warm enough, add mustard and fennel seeds. When mustard seeds begin to pop, add onions and bay leaves. When onion turn light brown, add ginger/garlic paste, after few minutes add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala powder. Wait until a spicy flavor emanates from the pot. Then stir in the cut beans, curry leaves, cut tomatoes, and salt and mix well, Later add enough water and cook over medium heat covered. When the beans are soft, remove from the heat. If you like you may add some more water to obtain the desired consistency. Adjust salt according to taste. Garnish with coriander before serving.

Serve hot with plain rice or any kind of fried rice or rotis.

Variation: Instead of tomatoes, you can use tamarind juice or you can also use dried mango powder/amchoor powder .

I've never tried making a curry (I mean, a gravy kind of curry) out of green beans. Have added it in Kurma, yes, but not a cury on it's own. I will try it sometime soon and let you know how ti went, Tanu. It looks yummy.
