Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Green Beans
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Mustard Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin Seeds
- 2 pieces Dried Red Chilies
- 10 leaves Curry Leaves
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 50 grams Fresh Grated Coconut
- 0.25 teaspoons Black Pepper
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut them into small, uniform pieces, approximately 1 cm in length.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the mustard seeds to the heated oil. When they start to splutter, add the cumin seeds and dried red chilies.
Add the curry leaves and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté them until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the turmeric powder and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the onion and garlic evenly.
Now, add the chopped green beans to the skillet. Stir well to incorporate them with the onion-spice mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the beans cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender but still retain a slight crunch.
Once the beans are cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the fresh grated coconut and black pepper to the skillet.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the coconut is heated through and well combined with the beans.
Turn off the heat and serve the beans thoran warm as a side dish with your favorite low-carb main entree.
