- 250 gr long beans
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tsp ginger & garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp aamchur (mango powder)
- 1 tsp sabzi masala
- 1 medium tomato
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp mushroom bouillon
- a dash of sugar
- 5 tbsp oil
Begin by cutting the long beans into small, bite-sized pieces, setting them aside for later.
In a pan, pour in the oil and add the cumin seeds. Allow them to crackle, releasing their aromatic essence. Once the cumin seeds are ready, add the finely chopped onion and cook until it reaches a delightful wilted state.
Add the ginger and garlic paste into the pan, cooking until it reaches a golden perfection.
Now, it's time to bring in the spices – turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, aamchur, and sabzi masala. Mix them well into the onion and ginger-garlic base.
Add finely chopped tomatoes to the spice-infused mixture, cook it until they gracefully wilt. To ensure the tomatoes don't stick, periodically add water.
For the final step goes in the long beans. Add them into the aromatic masala, seasoning with salt, mushroom bouillon and a touch of sugar. Allow the long beans to absorb the flavors, cook it until they reach the perfect tenderness.
