These beans were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the almonds. They worked great and added a nice crunch to the dish.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added a bit of garlic and ginger and used a different blend of spices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beans were mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These beans were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try using less chili powder next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover string beans. I had a bunch of beans that were starting to wilt and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.
