Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Place a pan on the stove, turn on the heat, and add oil. Let it warm up.
- Temper the Spices: Add mustard seeds and let them pop. Then, stir in the cumin seeds and a pinch of hing.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the curry leaves and finely chopped onion. Cook until the onions turn slightly golden.
- Add Ginger-Garlic: Toss in the crushed paste made of ginger, garlic, and green chilli, and sauté well.
- Cook the Tomatoes: Add the chopped tomato along with a small pinch of salt. Cook for a minute until the tomato softens.
- Mix in the Masalas: Lower the heat. Add the Kanda Lasun masala, garam masala, cumin-coriander powder, and turmeric. Mix the spices well on low heat so they don't burn.
- Add the French Beans: Bring the heat to medium. Add the washed and chopped French beans (Farasbee) and mix well with the spices.
- Add the Carrots: Toss in the chopped carrots (Gajar). Stir everything together for about a minute until the vegetables release a little moisture.
- Season and Add Water: Add the remaining salt to taste. If you are in a hurry, pour in a very small splash of water to help the veggies cook faster.
- Cover and Cook: Turn the stove to the lowest heat setting. Cover the pan and let the Farasbee Gajar Sabzi cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir it once halfway through so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the veggies are soft and cooked perfectly, top the dish with fresh, chopped coriander leaves. Mix lightly, and your tasty French beans and carrot sabzi is ready!
