Reminds me of Ma

In the kitchen, I had a little square table where me and Samia would chop up the beans (removing the topies) and help Ma make chapatis.

Ingredients (cups)

  • 750g beans
  • 7 green chillies
  • Salt
  • Rai (mustard seeds)
  • sunflower oil

Method

  1. Boil beans until almost ready (simmer with not too much water, cover and add 2 green chillies)
  2. Wash beans with cold water to cool them and so that they stay green when you fry them
  3. Warm oil and rai and 5 green chillies. Oil has to go stoom to add rai (if too hot burns and becomes bitter), add beans and salt
  4. Cook until slightly black.
