pop.
Add the chilli pieces and fry for a second. Add the
curry leaves, turmeric powder, and onions. Sprinkle some salt and stir.

cooked and browned.
Remove the lid and add the beans. Stir-fry on
medium-high heat for 2 minutes.

Saute until the pieces are browned.
Serve the green beans fry hot with hot rice and ghee
