Mustard Green Beans

Ingredients

• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can French style green beans

• oil
• salt
• black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 tablespoon regular yellow mustard (the kind you put on hot dogs, also to taste)

Directions

1. 1

   Lightly oil a small saucepan or fry pan, about a teaspoon and heat on medium high heat.

2. 2

   Add the mustard seeds and let them fry a minute or so.

3. 3

   Add the green beans, chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and black pepper with just a little bit of water about 1/4 cup.

4. 4

   Stir, cover and let cook for about 5 mins on medium high heat or until the green beans are done/tender.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning to liking. My husband prefers it medium on the spice but a little bit stronger on the mustardy taste.

7. 7

   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.
