GREEN BEAN CURRY
I ate this with rice or coconut roti almost every evening in Sri Lanka-- I could not get enough of it! Using fresh ingredients is of the utmost importance. Some of the ingredients may be difficult to find, but they really are essential. This goes very well with rice as a vegetarian entree or alone as a side dish.

Tips:
- Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
- Trim the beans properly: Trim the ends of the beans where the stem was attached. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
- Soak the beans: Soaking the beans in water for 30 minutes before cooking helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more tender.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. You can adjust the spices to your own taste. Some other spices that you can try include cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of beans you are using. Cook the beans until they are tender, but not mushy.
- Serve the beans hot: Gujarati green beans are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh cilantro or chopped onions.
Conclusion:
Gujarati green beans is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The beans are packed with nutrients and the spices give them a flavorful kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
