Green Beans and Potato Stir-Fry
® This is a RAS signature Recipe©
A very quick and easy-to-make vegetarian side dish. ‘Green Beans and Potato stir fry’ goes well with rice and curries, or flatbreads. At my place, I most often pair this with Prawn/Shrimp Curry and Rice. It makes a yummy combo. Kids love it too because of the added potatoes.

Ingredients:
| French Beans | 2 cups | |
| Potato, boiled | 1 large | |
| Red Onion, chopped (1/2 cup) | 1 | |
| Coconut oil or Veg oil | 1 Tbsp | |
| Black Mustard seeds | Large pinch | |
| Green chilli, slit | 1 small | |
| Fresh curry leaves | 1 sprig | |
| Turmeric powder | 1/8-1/4 tsp | |
| Salt | To taste |
Method:
- Remove the tips and strings of the beans if present and cut them up as seen in the image.
- Peel the cooked potato (see notes). Cut lengthwise into half, and then each half lengthwise again. Keep repeating this process to get 8 wedges. then cut these into small triangular slices – not too thin (refer to video).
- Heat a heavy-based wok. Add the coconut oil. As the oil heats up add the mustard seeds and allow them to pop.
- Next, add the green chili and curry leaves, followed by the chopped onion. Saute till the onions turn translucent.
- Add turmeric powder and stir through.
- Add a little oil if you feel the need to, turn up the heat and add in the chopped beans.
- Stir-fry the beans on high heat for about 30 seconds till they turn a nice bright green. The color of turmeric should be evenly distributed.
- Add salt to taste (about 1/4 tsp now) and stir. Do a taste test they should be just salty enough, taking into account we will add the potato to this too.
- As the beans become tender, add the cooked potato slices.
- Stir fry again till the turmeric color is distributed once again. You can add a little more turmeric, for color, if needed.
- Keep tossing till the onions start to turn a little golden and the potatoes get some golden color along the edges as well.
- Now cover the wok with a lid, lower the heat, and cook for 1 minute.
- Open and stir the beans and potato from the bottom, scraping any lightly brown bits and mixing them in well. Great flavor there!
- Check one last time for salt now, and that the beans are tender to your liking. Serve with rice or roti
Green Beans and Potato Stir-Fry
Notes:
- To boil the potato, I rinse it and score it lightly around the middle. Add to a pressure cooker with sufficient water and boil for about 6 pressure whistles. Allow to cool and open. Remove the potato from the hot water and place it under running tap water. The skin comes off easily since we scored it.
- You could use other beans like long beans, but the French beans give the best fresh-crunchy texture for this recipe.
