Ingredients
2
1 tablespoon Oil
quarter teaspoon Hing
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
5 pieces Curry leaves
4 pieces Green Chilies

50 grams Capsicum

Tips
You can add other vegetables like carrots or peas for more variety and color.
This subji pairs wonderfully with roti, chapati, or steamed rice for a complete meal.
Directions
Start by heating a kadhai (pan) on medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and let it heat up.
Once the oil is hot, add 0.25 teaspoon of hing and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds. Let them splutter and release their aroma.
Add 5-6 curry leaves, 4 chopped green chilies, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger to the pan. Sauté them for a minute until they are fragrant.
Toss in 50g of chopped French beans and 50g of chopped capsicum into the pan. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add salt to taste, mix well, and sprinkle a little water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, allowing the vegetables to soften.
Once the vegetables are cooked, add 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 0.5 teaspoon of coriander powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala. Stir everything together to combine well.
Increase the flame to high and gradually add 0.5 cup of besan (gram flour). Stir continuously to avoid lumps. If the mixture seems dry, sprinkle some water and continue to stir.
Cover and let the subji cook for an additional 5 minutes on low flame. Once cooked, serve hot as a side dish with roti or rice.
Notes
While Sukha Besan Beans Capsicum Subji is healthy for most people, those with gastric issues or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may want to avoid this dish due to the presence of besan and beans, which can sometimes cause bloating or discomfort.
Additionally, people with allergies to legumes or besan should skip this recipe.
