How to Make Mrs Mm's Potato And Bean Bhaji

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan with a well-fitting lid over medium heat.

  4. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder. Stir and fry for 1 minute.
  5. Add 2 cups chopped runner beans (or French beans), 2 cups chopped potatoes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin and cook for 1 minute.
  8. Serve hot with boiled rice and Tarka Dhal (optional) alongside your favorite meat curry.
