Gujerati-style green beans (Gujerati sem) from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cookery (page 102) by Madhur Jaffrey

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

Accompaniments: Delhi-style lamb cooked with potatoes (Aloo gosht); Hard boiled eggs in a spicy cream sauce (Malaidar unday); Aromatic yellow rice (Peelay chaaval)

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.

Notes about this recipe

    I used about 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in place of the crushed chili. Reduced the oil to 2 Tbsp and thought the beans were still pretty oily. Nice, tasty, easy side.

    A family favourite. Garlicky, oily and hot. A great side dish for an Indian meal but it could go well with a plain meat or chicken dish. The men in our family compete over the quality of their version of this.
