Green capsicum  – 2

Tomato  – 1

Ginger  – 1/2 inch piece

Remove from the flame and immerse in water.
When cooled remove the burnt skin and chop them.

Heat a pressure cooker with 2 tablespoon oil or butter. Add chopped onion and saute.

When the onion change it’s colour add chopped beans and fry for 2-3 minutes. Then add ground spices and saute.

    Gone through the entire recipe …its really interesting to roast the tomato and capsicum as this is going to give the dish a smokey flavour. Soon trying it.

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
