Receta Potatoes and Green Beans-Indian Inspired (Aloo Beans ki Subzi)
Spring is finally in the air after a torturous winter.The flowers blooming,the birds chirping, the barren trees beginning to bloom and greenery all around.The beauty of spring.Spring is also the time when plenty of green vegetables like Green Beans,Peas,Asparagus etc are in season.
My recipe for you today involves Green Beans and Potatoes.This dish is a typical North Indian dish that I grew up eating.Its a family recipe and you can substitute your favorite vegetable or a combo of vegetables if you prefer.It goes well with some Roti, rice and Lentils (Dal).
The spices along with the base of the sauce consisting of onion/ginger/garlic add their delicious layers of flavor and aroma to this dish.Its a semi dry dish, just the way I prefer my Indian veggies.The beans are cooked to perefction still maintaining their crunch along with the potatoes and it just screams spring to me.Most of the veggies are cooked in a similar manner in our family and they taste absolutely delicious.
