Method

  1. Put the coconut in a bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover; set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds and, once popping, stir in the garlic, onion and ½ tsp salt. Stir-fry for 4-5 mins until the onions are soft and light golden.
  3. Add the spices and chilli, cook for 1 min, then stir in the green beans and 75ml water. Reduce the heat to medium, then cover and cook for 7-9 mins until tender, adding a splash more water if the beans start to catch. Drain the coconut, stir into the pan and cook for 1 min before serving.

Tip: Try serving with our Salmon saag and Paneer bhuna for a weekend feast.
