Hi Jaden, always enjoy coming here and seeing what you have posted as instant, fresh, tasty, simple and healthy food for dinner. I loved reading about you and your profession that is so closely related to food, and how your friend sowjanya started your experiments on Indian ingredients with the garam masala – the famous Indian spice powder that enhance the flavor of the food. You write so interestingly, enjoyed the bit wherein you have mentioned the difficulty in pronouncing Indian names .

Beans is a common vegetable in our kitchen for everyday Indian cooking, as an ingredient in soups, vegetables and rice dishes! Your recipe is unique – butter coated steamed beans tossed in garam masala and garnished with roasted nuts – yummy! Will definitely try this one – guess the children will love the butter coated long uncut beans!

Amazing, this recipe is heathy is good looking (I love green). In China, we will fry it and adding some meat and oil together to fry. But your one seems to be raw, did you cook it? I’m just curious. Http://www.kitchenware-info.com is my site, and you can find many cool kithen gadgets there.

Green beans have to be my favorite vegetable. I love the idea of a garam masala too. I really like the flavors of Indian cooking. Very nice photo. I only use a tripod for the same reason. I also like your lighting system it beats the blue flood lights that I use. Have to see if I can find them. Thank you for sharing that.

This looks DELICIOUS! J’adore garam masala – so this is a must try for me. This looks warm and toasty and healthy – and might balance the sinful and calorific and decadent desserts I’ve been indulging in!
