Madhur Jaffrey's Spice Kitchen: Fifty Recipes Introducing Indian Spices and Aromatic Seeds

By Madhur Jaffrey
Clarkson Potter - 1994

Have made this lots of time. One thing I've noted is that it often needs a bit of extra water at the end. It's a good make-ahead sort of recipe where you have everything ready and finish it off in the last few minutes before serving. I've noted that when serving this with Tangy Green Beans (p58), you should start the final finishing of that before finishing this.

I've made this repeatedly and we've always enjoyed it. It makes a pretty addition to a plate. I've used fresh green beans, frozen green beans, haricots verts, and the Dutch snijbonen (which I think are called runner beans in English, but I've never seen them in the US).

This recipe can be made ahead to a great extent and finished, starting about 10 minutes before serving. Have the beans cooked and all the spices measured and chopped.

Very good salad, not just with Indian meals.
