French Green Bean

French Green Beans 
                     With pumpkin seeds


I always like to  try new ingredients in my cooking .  Today I tried french beens ( another name of string bean)  with  pumpkin seeds as you all know pumpkin seeds are very healthy seeds like chia and flax seeds.The taste is also very good. I like to share this healthy recipe with you all.




Ingredients:


  • French Beans one small bunch almost 200gms
  • 1/2 of an medium size onion
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 1 dry red chili
  • 1 raw red chili
  • 1 pinch turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste


Method:



  • Wash and Cut the beans diagonally.
  •  Put a non stick pan over medium high heat. Pour the oil on it and wait for a minute till the oil is hot.( I use avocado oil.)  Then add the bean and stir with a spatula . Reduce the heat to low.
  • In the mean time cut the onion in half and do the slices and keep it .
  • Put turmeric powder  on the beans and mix it well.
  • Make a powder of the pumpkin seeds and the dry red chili.( You can add more chili if you like more spicy)
  • Add the onion when the water of the bean evaporated. Mix it well. 
  • Add salt.
  • Add the pumpkin and red chili powder when the sabji is half cooked.
  • Mix it well and cover for 5 minute or more till the beans cook properly.
  • Serve with rice or roti.
