Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 tablespoons ghee or a mixture of butter and vegetable oil

2 teaspoons black mustard seeds

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/2 teaspoon crushed dried chilies

1 pound green beans -- trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

 

Heat the ghee or oil-butter mixture in a large heavy-bottomed frying pan over

moderate heat. When it is hot but not smoking, add the mustard seeds, cumin

seeds and chilies and fry until the cumin seeds darken and the mustard seeds pop

and turn gray. Add the beans and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the water,

cover tightly and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the beans are tender-crisp.

 

Uncover, raise the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Raise the heat and

boil until the water evaporates and the beans sizzle in the seasoned ghee or

oil.
