Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they start to sizzle and release their aroma, about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onion, and sauté until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Mix in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan, stirring well to coat them in the spices and onion mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the green beans, chopped tomato, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the vegetables cook on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and beans are tender.
Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove the lid and cook off excess moisture if necessary, stirring every few minutes.
Turn off the heat, and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice, combining well.
Serve the Aloo Beans Ki Subji hot as a side dish with whole grain bread or a quinoa salad for a balanced Mediterranean meal.
