How to Prepare Masaledar Sem (Spicy Green Beans) [Vegan]
- Peel the ginger and roughly chop it. Add the ginger and garlic along with 1/2 cup of water to a blender or food processor and blend until a fairly smooth paste forms.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium. Once it is hot, add the cumin and crushed red pepper flakes and toast for about 10 seconds.
- Next, add the ginger garlic paste, stir, and continue to cook for about a minute. Add the coriander, stir it in, then add the chopped tomatoes. Stir and cook the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes, gently mashing them up as you go.
- Add the green beans, a bit of salt to taste, and a bit of water (1/2 cup or so). Bring the beans to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for 8-10 minutes until the beans are just tender.
- Remove the cover, and stir in the cardamom and the juice of half a lemon. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
Optional: serve with cooked tofu and your favorite grain to make a more substantial meal.
