Aloo Beans Recipe - a dry stir fry recipe, made in Punjabi style using basic spices, potatoes and green beans or french beans.
When I say basic spices, I really mean it. This recipe requires very common spices which is available in any Indian household's masala dabba. Still it tastes just delicious, that you won't believe it.
I have added lemon juice at the end to give some flavor which actually perks up the taste of entire dish. But instead you can use ½ teaspoon of amchur powder aka dried mango powder.
Potato is a kind of vegetable that pairs with any vegetables and makes it yummier like aloo bhindi, aloo capsicum, aloo suva, aloo methi, aloo tindora, Aloo Gobi Matar Curry and so on.
