Instructions

  1. Trim the beans and cut into roughly ¼ inch (1cm) pieces. Finely chop the chili and garlic. Cut the shallot into thin slices, cutting larger slices in half or smaller.
  2. Warm the coconut oil in a medium-small skillet/frying pan over a medium heat then add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Cook for a minute to become fragrant.
  3. Add the shallot, cook a minute then add the garlic and chili and cook a minute more. Add the curry leaves and turmeric, stir to mix then add the chopped beans.
  4. Add the water, stir then cover the skillet/frying pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture steam and cook around 3-5 minutes to soften the beans. They should still have a slight bite but be cooked.
  5. Remove the lid, stir in the coconut then cook a minute or two more before serving.
