Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Rinse them under water to remove excess starch.
Wash the green beans thoroughly, trim both ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add a pinch of asafoetida and stir quickly.
Toss in the cubed potatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to turn golden.
Add the green beans to the skillet and mix well.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the vegetables.
Stir everything together to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and beans are tender. Add a few tablespoons of water if necessary to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, add garam masala and lemon juice. Mix well and cook for another minute.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve Aloo Beans Ki Subji hot with roti or as a side dish with rice.
