    Somedays I have veggies left that need to be used up. A whole week will go by with recipe development, testing and more recipe trials and errors, before I get to some vegetables which were not used in the recipes. If i have no plans for those veggies, I look online for ideas, choose some depending on what I have in the pantry and fridge, reject a few because I can imagine not liking the end result and often come back to Indian food. Indian food covers many different regional cuisines and most have abundant options using many vegetables which showcase the vegetables in a delicious recipe. There is so much more to do with green beans. Use green beans (string beans) or french beans (haricots verts) in this recipe. 

    This recipe is a simple green bean carrot stir fry with coconut. The beans are spiced with mustard seeds, dried red chiles and curry leaves. Easy, 15 minutes active time and then let them cook. There are more green bean recipes in my book! And a lot of veggies recipes. Green beans can also be added to main sauces instead of tofu.

        Omit them. Add a bit more mustard seeds.

      As a kid I always thought of the carrots and green beans as the smelly weird plants that tasted bad. Now I can eat these veggies all day long! This looks great for Thanksgiving!

        yep, the small dice of green beans makes them less intimidating too!
