Wash and trim
1.5 lbs green beans
Slice into 1/4" rounds (?)
Mix well:
3 T Yogurt
1/2 fresh hot green chili, or 1/4t cayenne
3T cilantro, finely chopped
1t salt
1t sugar
3/4t dry mustard
3/4t ground cumin
2 t lemon juice (alt, perhaps better: 1T sumac)
3T water
Heat
5T veg oil
in a skillet and when hot, add
5 whole fenugreek seeds
1/4 t cumin seeds
When the fenugreek starts to color, put in the beans, and fry, stirring, for about 5 min.
Beat the yoghurt mixture once more and stir into the beans. When the skillet starts bubbling, reduce heat to very love, and cook slowly for 40 minutes (!). Stir every 10 min or so.
To serve, place in a warm serving dish and sprinkle with
1/4t garam masala
