Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add mustard seeds. As soon as they begin to pop, add garlic and stir until lightly brown. Add crushed red chile and stir for a few seconds. Add green beans, salt and sugar. Stir to mix. Turn heat to medium/low. Stir and cook the beans for 7 to 8 minutes until they have absorbed the spiced flavors. Add black pepper, mix and serve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet my dad would love to try this recipe, since he loves green beans, and eats them with almost anything.
