Mustard Green Beans

"Great Pakistani side dish recipe for string green beans. Very easy to make and very tasty by itself, served with roti/naan, regular bread or even plain rice. This recipe is pretty much to taste so you can adjust it to your liking."

directions

  • Lightly oil a small saucepan or fry pan, about a teaspoon and heat on medium high heat.
  • Add the mustard seeds and let them fry a minute or so.
  • Add the green beans, chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and black pepper with just a little bit of water about 1/4 cup.
  • Stir, cover and let cook for about 5 mins on medium high heat or until the green beans are done/tender.
  • Turn the heat to high and stir in the regular mustard. Cook it on high till the water evaporates out of the oil and the mustard is cooked inches.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning to liking. My husband prefers it medium on the spice but a little bit stronger on the mustardy taste.
  • Note: once the regular yellow mustard is cooked in, it will not be in strong in taste as it is when you would normally eat it on a hot dog, so keep that in mind when you add it, for a stronger flavor you will have to use more.

  1. I tried this because I like experimenting with different cultural foods and flavors. I love mustard, and I love green beans, so I thought I would like this, but blech..was NOT a winner to me. Out of 4 people in the house, only 1 liked it, and he's missing half his taste buds so there's not much he won't eat lol. I'm sorry, was hoping for a better result. :(

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm married to love of my life who works very hard to keep me happy. Normally, I'm okay when it comes to cooking, nowadays, I feel like I don't know what I'm doing in the kitchen anymore and am completely out of dinner ideas. Guess thats what happens after the first year of being married. I also just gave birth to my first child on Oct. 11, 2009 and am a new mom dealing with the stresses of parenthood in the beginning. I use cooking as an outlet to keep my hands and mind busy. Many Many heartfelt thanks go out to the very generous man who gifted me premium membership here on zaar. It came at a time when I truly needed it and am so thankful for such a random act of kindness. I have just become completely addicted to zaar. It has become my go-to website for cooking. I love reading different recipes and reviews, wondering if I can make them and if i'll like it. I have my hands full with my first child but it doesn't stop me from looking up recipes and trying them out. My husband and I love vegetables and chicken. All other eating options are once in awhile if at all. I really learned cooking from my husband, he's amazing in the kitchen, he can just make something out of nothing and have it turn out to be fantastic but if you ask him the recipe he'll have no idea. He's very creative like that, I on the other hand- not so much. Zaar has helped start turning the wheels in my brain to be creative in the kitchen again.
