Green Beans Stir Fry

This is a Karnataka style green beans preparation. It can be a part of thali but can be eaten along with saar or rasam and rice. This recipe gets done in a jiffy and tastes crunchy, crisp along with a great flavor of the spices used. The beans must be chopped fine for the recipe and that’s what makes it special I guess. Chopping is an art and every recipe or preparation demands that the vegetables or ingredients used must be chopped in a particular way to get the most out of it. 

Talking about thali or the variety of food served on a platter this preparation of beans makes an appearance often. Traditionally it is made with plenty of coconut gratings, feel free to add more if you prefer.  Make sure to cook the beans uncovered as it retains the bright green color and looks gorgeous. 

Make this simple and healthy preparation and share it with your loved ones.

The famous proverb "you are what you eat” as quoted by the French author Anthelme Brillat-Savarin is very true. Food nourishes you from the inside out. Good health is of utmost importance to me. Vegetarianism and Veganism are gaining immense popularity these days. Natural, organic, healthy and homemade is my mantra.
