Green Beans (Indian Spicy Style) is a vegetable dish prepared from green beans. I know that green beans do not taste that good, actually to me, green beans do not have any taste at all. But beans as a green vegetable are really healthy and nutritional. This dish can be prepared as filler item with other non-veg items or as a break from rich and spicy dishes. This is an "everyday" recipe. Now I have modified this green bean recipe a bit to make it slightly more spicy and enjoyable.Ingredients
