Curried green beans

A simple but yummy curried beans recipe taken from a friend years ago.

Ingredients: A big bunch of green beans, 1 small onion chopped, 1 small tomato chopped, a handful coriander leaves, 1 tsp coriander seeds, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp garlic paste, 1/2 tsp turmetic powder, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp asefotida, 1 tbsp olive oil

In a blender blend the onion, tomato, coriander leaves, coriander and cumin seeds, turmeric powder and the garlic paste. Slit the beans lengthwise and then chop into 1 inch pieces. Heat a saucepan on medium heat. Add olive oil and mustard seeds. Once the seeds splatter, add the asefotida and the chopped beans. Sprinkle some water and cook the beans covered until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the masala (curry) paste and cook until the water evaporates. Serve hot with poli (flat bread).
