Green Beans and Red Pepper Curry

I love experimenting with different cuisines but simple homecooked traditional food is what really satisfies our tastebuds.

This sabji (curry) really takes no time at all, perfect for a quick fix for dinner.

Ingredients

½ Tsp Mustard Seeds

½ Tsp Cumin Seeds

¼ Tsp Asafoetida Powder

½ Tsp Carom Seeds

½ Inch Ginger

1 Green Chilli

½ Tsp Turmeric Powder

½ Tsp Coriander/Cumin Powder

220g Green Beans

½ Tsp Himalayan Salt

1 Tsp Shelled Hempseeds

¼ Cup Water

½ Tsp Agave Syrup

2 Tbsp Desiccated Coconut

Method

  1. Prep the veg: chop off top and tail of the green beans and remove the stem and seeds of the red pepper. Chop both down to an inch in size.
  2. Finely chop the celery stick, ginger and chilli.
  3. In a pan heat the oil, add in mustard seeds, once they start to splutter add in cumin seeds, carom seeds, asafoetida, ginger and chilli. Reduce the heat to low.
  4. After a min add in celery and sauté for a further 3 mins.
  5. Mix in the turmeric and coriander/cumin powder.
  6. Add the red pepper and cook for 5 mins before adding the green beans.
  7. Stir well and add the salt, agave syrup (omit this if you aren’t using carom seeds – the syrup offsets bitterness from the carom) and water.
  8. Cover and cook for 10 mins or until the water has evaporated.
  9. Sprinkle over the hempseeds and desiccated coconut mix well and cover for a further 5 mins without the flame.
