Green Beans And Potato Curry is a popular vegetarian dish in most Indian homes. The Indian culture most certainly love their vegetables & this dish is by far the easiest to prepare.

Green beans, otherwise called string beans, or snap beans in the northeastern and western United States, are the unripe leafy foods cases of different cultivars of the regular bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). They are eaten far & wide, & are promoted canned, solidified, & fresh. Green beans are regularly steamed, boiled, curried, stir-fried or prepared in casseroles.
