Green Beans With Lentils

---

Another spartan vegetable side that we make at home, but this one's always been my favourite and is the reason why i love french beans! Once when i was a kid, i sat on my kitchen platform and ate the entire 4 servings of this dish that my mom made, while she was cooking the rest of dinner!

Steps

---

Heat oil in a saucepan on a low flame and add the mustard seeds.

---

When they begin to sputter , add the chopped french beans , lentils , salt , turmeric powder and water.

---

The water should be sufficient to cover the beans , so add some more if necessary.

---

Cover the saucepan tightly and cook on a low flame for about 30 minutes or until the beans are well cooked.

---

Check to see that the water is sufficient every 10 minutes , with stirring , and add more water if necessary.

---

After 30 minutes most of the water should have evaporated.

---

Switch off burner , remove from flame and serve hot.
