The Aloo Beans Sabzi Recipe is a simple Gujarati vegetable that is traditionally known as the Fansi Batata Nu Shaak. The recipe is a Semi Jain Style version of the dish, where I have used potatoes, but not used onion and garlic. The addition of coriander powder, along with asafoetida and red chillies, brings out the flavors and taste of this simple and yet wholesome sabzi. This sabzi makes a great lunch box meal.

Keep the steamed beans and potatoes aside while we proceed to make the masala for the sabzi.Heat a teaspoon of oil in a heavy bottomed pan; add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow them to crackle. Next add the chopped curry leaves, turmeric powder, asafoetida powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder to the oil. Stir for a few seconds. Finally add the cooked potatoes and steamed green beans into the sabzi masala, sprinkle salt and give it a stir. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer the Aloo Beans Sabzi for about 3 to 4 minutes, so all the masalas get well coated with the sabzi. Check the salt and spice levels, and adjust to suit your taste.Transfer the Aloo Beans Sabzi to a bowl and serve it along with Gujarati Dal and Phulka's for a wholesome weeknight dinner or even a weekend brunch with family.
