21. Cookery: A Simple and healthy recipe even for those who cannot cook

My cousin gave me these yard-long beans from his kitchen garden. They were so fresh I did not want to ruin them by too much cooking so I rustled up a dish which was simple and healthy and tasty.

This is how it grows

The Recipe

Chop up the following :

Beans into inch long pieces. Steam them just for a couple of minutes – we want them crunchy.

Onion, garlic, green chillies, tomatoes into small pieces.

Put one teaspoon oil (olive oil or any other oil or butter) in a pan. Lightly sauté the onions.

Add the rest of the ingredients and salt to taste. Stir till the salt is properly mixed and the tomatoes are a little soft. Add the beans and stir again. Twist a few drops of lemon juice. 

Options

You can replace the yard-long beans with any beans or capsicum or broccoli, or peas or cabbage or a mix of all. Instead of steaming the vegetables you can just stir fry them with the onion and tomatoes.
