Ingredients

• 300 grams green beans
• 2 medium-sized potatoes
• 1 medium-sized onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 medium-sized tomato
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 120 milliliters water
• 2 tablespoons cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1/2-inch in size.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomato and set everything aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 5

Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the diced tomato, turmeric, cumin, ground coriander, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomato softens and combines with the spices to form a paste.

Step 8

Add the cubed potatoes and green beans to the skillet, tossing them well to coat with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the water, stir well, and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the vegetables simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are cooked but still retain a slight crunch.

Step 10

Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with steamed rice or Tibetan bread for a hearty meal.
