Spicy Fried Beans

Ingredients :

500 g tender beans

1 tablespoon ghee

1 medium onion, chopped finely

1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated finely

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon chili powder

2 ripe tomatoes, chopped

Salt to taste

Lemon juice

Method :

Top and tail the beans. Then remove the strings and cut into bite-size pieces. Heat a saucepan with ghee and saute the onion and ginger over moderate heat until the onion is softened and golden in color. Add turmeric, chili powder, garam masala and salt to taste. Fry for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until they became a pulp and most of the liquid evaporates. Add beans and stir well. Cover partially with a lid and cook until the beans are just tender. Do not overcook the beans. Stir in lemon juice to taste before serving hot.
