Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Nice side for an Indian meal! We would prefer the beans a bit more tender, so next time will try reducing the cook time a bit.

    Excellent. Quick and easy. A good side dish with another curry. I used flat beans instead of sommon green beans.

    Very good and easy. I'd definitely reduce the cooking time as they were VERY tender.

    This is a quick, simple and utterly delicious dish. Everybody in my family had second helpings and my son raved about it.
