Green Or Wax Bean Subsi

Oh my God I thought I had published this recipe first and I took another look at my notepad where I do my rough draft at that it is still there and the actual post has not been written yet and actually I seen look like it was a local draft of some sort made me almost have a panic attack. I never had one before and I do not want one either. I started therapy recently to help me heal from my past traumas of the abuses. that I have gone through and my father’s death on top of it. I tried to get my dad to eat healthier when he came to see me on Veteran’s Day.

This type of dish is very healthy but if you have a nut or peanut allergy you may want to omit the nuts at the end. You may want to toast either 1 pinch of flaxseed, sesame seeds or even chia seeds in its place. Then again I do not want to get ahead of myself here in this post. You will need 1 lb of green beans or wax beans which looks and taste like green beans and just as long except they are yellow instead of green. You cut them and remove the tiny string near the stem at the top and cut them in to several sections per bean then set them aside or use 1 bag of frozen in its place and it really doesn’t matter how they are cut at all.

In a wok or cast iron skillet on high heat add 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3 tbs of coconut oil. 3 curry leaves, 1 pinch of hing, splutter 1 pinch each of mustard seeds, kalounji, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds fennel seeds, mash ki dal, chana ki dal. Stir until these are roasted then in a mini processor add 10 almonds, cashews or peanuts and blitz until it is almost like a powder and add to the roasted masala mixture. Like I stated above and the same amount of flaxseed, sesame seeds or chia seeds and stir until it gives off an aroma.

Add 1 pinch each of turmeric, red chili powder and stir. Add 1 onion or shallot and let cook until brown and add 2 cloves of garlic. Add the fresh wax or green beens you have prepped earlier or add 1 bag of frozen in its place. Reduse heat to low, cover and let cook for 20 minutes. This is a stovetop only method.
