Ingredients
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 3/4 tsp nigella seeds
- 3/4 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 cup onions thinly sliced
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 3/4 tsp ground turmeric

- 1.25 tsp salt or to taste
- 150 grams potatoes peeled and chopped
- 250 grams green beans chopped into 2 inch long pieces
- 2 tbsp water

Instructions
- Prep the green beans and potatoes. Make sure that the potatoes are dry and moisture free before adding them to the pan.
- Heat a heavy bottomed pan with oil. Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds and nigella seeds. Wait for them to splutter.
- When they splutter, add the sliced onions and ginger garlic paste. Mix well and cook on medium heat until the onions are soft.
- Now, add the ground spices along with salt. Stir well to combine. Cook on low heat for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Immediately, tip in the chopped beans and potatoes and toss everything gently to make sure that the spices coat the veggies evenly.
- Cook covered on medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes. After 2 to 3 minutes, open the lid, scrape the bottom and mix gently. Add 2 tbsp water and stir to combine again.
- Continue to cook covered on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. While this happens, keep stirring the mixture and scraping the bottom every now and then.
- After 5 minutes, open the lid and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat until the potatoes begin to turn golden around the edges and all the water evaporates completely.
- Finish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
