Green Plantains and Green Long Beans

This recipe is from my great grand mother, who was a great cook.

Raw green Plaintains - 2

Long green beans - 1 bunch

Shallots - 5

Red chillies - 2-3

Green chillies - 2

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Curry leaves

Oil - 1 tbsp

Salt

Peel the skin from the raw bananas and slit it into fours .Cut into small pieces and keep it in water to avoid darkening. Cut the green beans into 2 inch long pieces. Cook the plantains and green beans with the slit green chillies and salt with a little water for around 5 minutes. Drain the water if any. Chop the shallots and red chillies in a chopper. Heat oil in a frying pan and let the mustard seeds splutter, add the curry leaves and the ground shallots and red chillies. Fry for some time till the onions become slightly red and a nice aroma comes. Add the cooked plantains and beans and saute for a few minutes. Can be served with rice or chapathis.
