Instructions
- Heat some oil in a pan. I used a traditional cast iron "chatti", but any pan will do.
- Reduce the flame and temper the mustard seeds. Let them splutter.
- Now add the chopped onions*, and fry while stirring occasionally.
- Fry to a golden colour, and add the crushed dry chillies.
- Mix well, and add curry leaves.
- Give it a quick fry, and add the finely chopped beans.
- Mix well to get the beans an even coating of oil, onions, and chillies. Cook for 10-15 minutes while stirring occasionally.

- Cook for a couple of minutes and switch off the flame.
