Potatoes and Green Beans-Indian Inspired 4

My recipe for you today involves Green Beans and Potatoes.This dish is a typical North Indian dish cooked in many households.Its a family recipe and you can substitute your favorite vegetable or a combo of vegetables if you prefer.Its a simple everyday dish that can be made in your busy weekdays but packed with nutrition.It pairs well with roti, rice and lentils (Dal).

The spices along with the basic North Indian masala blend of onion/ginger/garlic add their delicious layers of flavor and aroma to this dish.Its a semi dry dish, just the way I prefer my Indian veggies.The beans are cooked to perfection while still maintaining their crunch along with the potatoes and it just screams spring to me.Enjoy!

    I don’t know whether I can say we have been lucky in my neck of the woods that we didn’t really have a winter, but Indian inspired potatoes and beans look delicious. Yes, please I take a portion with some roti. Thank you!
