Few months back I got some fresh french beans in the market. They were so green and fresh I could not help myself but buy a bagful. So we had a nice 'beans week' after that. I added beans to my dal, to the fried rice, to the soup...still there were some left. That day in the dinner table when I said "I have made some beans with curry leaves and coconut", my family members were skeptical about it but after they tasted it I passed with flying colors. So now it is a regular dish in our house, goes very well with rice and dal.
