Green beans masala recipe – Side dish for roti

A simple and easy green beans masala recipe pairs well with roti and rice. I have seen this recipe in a cookbook sometime back. We usually cook the beans in the traditional South Indian way by adding coconut or make paruppu usili. This version sounded so unique and interesting.

I tried this and everyone at home loved it with roti. Usually, I have seen many people combine beans and aloo to make the North Indian style curry. But this one is only with the french beans. If you are looking for an easy and delicious beans ki sabzi, then do give this a try.
