I love to use French style cut Green beans. I always have at least one packet in my freezer. So when I don't get fresh green beans, that's what I use. Gudiya gobbles it saying "green beans noodles"!Green Beans Foogath
Ingredients
1 lb green beans, frozen - French style cut
salt to taste
Tempering
1 tbsp oil
1 onion, chopped
2 red chilies, halved
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp asafoetida
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 sprigs curry leaves
Garnish
2 tbsp freshly grated coconut
Method
1. Heat oil in a kadai or wok.
2. Add all the ingredients for tempering except onion.
3. As the seeds sizzle, add onion. Saute till it is soft.
4. Add green beans, 2 tbsp water. Cover with a lid with water on top.
5. Let it cook on a low flame till beans are soft. Add more water if it seems to stick.
6. Stir in salt.
7. Garnish with coconut.
Note -
1. If you don't have access to frozen french cut green beans, simply use fresh green beans.
2. Similar foogath can also be made with yard long beans.
