Green Beans with Lentils image

Another spartan vegetable side that we make at home, but this one's always been my favourite and is the reason why I love french beans! Once when I was a kid, I sat on my kitchen platform and ate the entire 4 servings of this dish that my mom made, while she was cooking the rest of dinner!

Categories     Lentil

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

250 g fresh green beans or 250 g French beans, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon dried lentils or 1 tablespoon mung dal
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch turmeric powder

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan on a low flame and add the mustard seeds.
  • When they begin to sputter, add the chopped french beans, lentils, salt, turmeric powder and water.
  • The water should be sufficient to cover the beans, so add some more if necessary.
  • Cover the saucepan tightly and cook on a low flame for about 30 minutes or until the beans are well cooked.
  • Check to see that the water is sufficient (that is, the mixture isn't dry) every 10 minutes, with stirring, and add more water if necessary.
  • After 30 minutes most of the water should have evaporated.
  • Switch off burner, remove from flame and serve hot.
