A simple recipe this time, Potatoes with fresh Green Beans for a quick meal on the go. I've always liked Green Beans but I really hate it when they lose their green color as they are cooked. So many nutrients are lost when they are cooked to death- literally. Even the taste changes, and its just a big mess. I wanted to come up with a recipe that would retain the color at least partially so I made part of this recipe in the microwave, and I was quite pleased with the results! The beans were vibrant with a slight crunch to them and the potatoes were nicely browned. The aamchoor and garam masala tasted just right.Here is the recipe, very helpful when you're short on time.
Green Beans-Potato Sabzi:
1 packet- fresh green beans- washed, trimmed and chopped any way you like
1 small white onion- chopped
1 potato- cook in microwave for 4 mins and chop
