Potato and Green beans fry

Potato and Green beans fry

Ingredients

1 medium-size onion, chopped into long pieces
3 medium-size potatoes, chopped into medium-size pieces
500 gms of green beans, chopped into small pieces

5-6 tablespoons of oil (preferably olive or sunflower)

1/2 tablespoon of turmeric powder
1-2 tablespoon of chilli powder
2 tablespoon of split chick peas
1 tablespoon of mustard seeds

Salt as needed

Procedure

1. Heat the oil in a large pan. When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and the split chick peas. Add the turmeric powder.
2. When the mixture is slightly fried, add the chopped onions to it.
3. When the onions are slightly fried, add the chopped potatoes and the chopped beans. Keep frying till all the vegetables are cooked and fried. (How to know this - a potato is cooked when a spoon can cut it into pieces and a green bean is cooked when its colour turns to oily green as in the picture)
4. At this point add the salt as needed and the chilli powder. Fry it for 2-3 minutes.

5. Serves 6 persons.

Options

1. You can skip the chilli powder and replace it with an Indian spicy powder like Vangibath powder or Ennegai powder. (Write to me if you want the recipes of the two.)
2. You can skip the chilli powder or any other powder altogether.
3. You can skip the green beans. Such a fry is served with an Indian pancake called Dosa, especially Masala Dosa.
4. You can skip the onions altogether or replace it with garlic.
5. If you are in a hurry, you can cook the potatoes and the green beans before you fry them.
