Indian Spiced Potato And Green Bean Curry (Aloo Beans)

A delicious vegetarian main or fabulous side, this simple Indian dish is one we crave in our home, especially after a few days of indulgent eating, served hot simply with roti/ chapati.

Onions, ginger, garlic and green chillis are sautéed until soft, in goes the gorgeous curry leaves (yes… I am obsessed with them), mustard seeds and cumin seeds along with channa masala sugar, garam masala and chilli powder.  Parboiled diced potatoes are added with finely chopped tomatoes, and it’s all left to simmer for a while with the lid on. Finally, green beans and chaat masala are added to the mix with a sprinkling of fresh coriander, and it’s all cooked a further few minutes until the beans are al dente.  

This recipe was taught to me by my Punjabi Mama… I have adapted it slightly by adding curry leaves, mustard seeds and chaat masala… to my relief… she loved it! ❤️
