Green Beans & Potatoes

This is another classic vegetarian dish. I love to go to my local farm in the summer and get fresh green beans for this recipe. It's light, healthy and tastes great!

500 g green beans
2 medium potatoes
1 ¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp Jaswant's Kitchen Tadka Masala
1½ tsp ginger (chopped or minced)
1 medium tomato chopped
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp water
¼ tsp Jaswant's Kitchen Garam Masala

Wash green beans and drain. Wash and scrub potatoes to remove dirt.

Remove the stem ends and cut beans into ¼ inch pieces. Peel potatoes (if desired) and cut into one inch pieces. Heat a heavy pot on medium high heat. Add the oil and fry the beans for about 4 minutes until the color of the beans has changed. Add salt, Jaswant's Kitchen Tadka Masala, water and the potatoes. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the ginger and tomatoes. Cover, lower heat to simmer and continue to cook until potatoes are cooked through (about 30 minutes). Finish by sprinkling with Jaswant's Kitchen Garam Masala.

Serve with roti or naan and raita.
