  1. This recipe is definately a 5 Star! I have never had beans cooked in this stlye and i got to say its probly the best style of green bean iv ever had. And im a huge fan of green beans!
     
  2. these were good and easy. the only thing is i had no mustard seeds, only powder, so i have no idea how much powder i shoudl have used, so i guessed. i think next time i will add fresh ginger, more coriander (maybe a bit of cilantro instead), and some garlic. thanks for an easy indian veggie!
     
  3. Really wonderful. Fresh taste that does not interfere with many of the spicier Indian main dishes we make, yet holds its own with flavor. Nice and colorful. Will be made again and again.
     
  4. Since I've never had Indian-style anything, this was a flavor excursion for me. These beans and carrots were quite a tasty surprise! I used sliced baby-carrots rather than full carrot coins and fresh green beans. Lots of flavor and will be made again! Thanks mliss! Made and reviewed for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.
     
  5. Delicious! The mustard seed and coriander add a lovely exotic flavor to two of my family's favorite veggies (green beans and carrots). I reduced the fat to just one rounded tablespoon of coconut oil, and I used less than 1/4 t salt. I also totally forgot to put the lemon juice on at the end, but it was fabulous without it. I will make these often!
