Indian Green Beans - mild spicy !
Hmmm....I really do not mind this vegetarian dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Another recipe that I've picked up from A's mom - we (me and YJ) call it by the name, Indian Green Beans. Hahahaha....that's another dish without a formal name. And the ingredients are almost similar to Indian Spicy Chickpeas.
Indian Green Beans
Ingredients: green bean sliced, 4-5 shallots sliced, 2-3 garlic minced, 1-2tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp turmeric, butter, salt, 1tbsp oil, freshly ground black pepper, sprinkle of red chili pepper flakes
Directions: Add butter and 1tbsp oil to a frying pan, add in minced garlic, shallots saute till fragrant. Add in green beans and saute till green beans and onions are slightly tender/onions caramelized. Add the spices. Salt to taste. Cook for about 10 mins in low-heat pan (note: if too dry, add some water). Add in some freshly ground black pepper and red chili pepper flakes, mix well.
Makes a really different dish as Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes. Imagine having traditional turkeys with these. Does it not bring a new revived flavor to year-end traditional holiday feasting ?

It is just like our Chinese spicy green beans but with added turmeric and cumin! I will surely try this out! :)
This is a great recipe for me to try out spices like turmeric and cumin =D
Thanks for a delicious virtual breakfast!
One of my favorites as a kid--i love these.
Really easy and would be a great companion for a bowl of steamed rice.
Certainly something different for the usual year end dishes :)
Yummy! I like the green bean cooked in Indian way too, but not sure why I hardly make it.
i hardly have indian food - and that's weird since i live in birmingham! but this looks good and not so difficult to prepare. might give this a go. ;)
Sounds interesting for a vegetarian Indian dish! Adding spices to vegetables (esp green) is a good idea for me. Tks!
Only you can make veggies look so tempting!
Simple ingredients and yet it looks appetizing.
Anything spicy is calling me! That looks really good with a bowl of rice too.
Hey, you are really into Indian food these days eh? I notice.
Or it is what catches my eyes these days when I read your blog :)
Hmm.. I would love to have some baby prawns in that. :P

That's a healthy dish that I can easily finish.
My wife is an Indian food and green bean fanatic! Will have to make this for her for sure. Great photography!
Wow! That's an interesting breakfast. I am just sipping on my cappuccino, and I just ate a waffle with maple syrup. :)
Fantastic pic and dish. I make my beans in a similar manner, and we have them with hot phulkas (chapatis).
oh i could definitely eat that for breakfast. It looks yummy.

At first when I saw "Indian green beans," I had to admit that I was like...hmmmmm...
But then I saw your picture...looks soooooo good!
I want a bite of that!
No I want many bites of that!
Nice way to enjoy some beans. I am always looking for tasty new side dishes.
Looks quite like the dish in Indian shops of KL, although we never think Indian veges are good at all !
Great idea! Better than the canned green beans with Campbell cream of mushroom soup and French's fried onions. :-)
Mmmm hmmm... A delicious sidedish!
yet another delicious with simplicity dish of yours as always! :)
This looks really good! I have some green beans so I might have to make it!!
There's something so compelling about the green beans when they're cut up like this. I find them quite beautiful and enticing.
