Green Beans Masala Rice, made in my ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER, a quick one-pot meal made with fresh green beans, also called as French beans, as the main ingredient. I always wondered if there’s a one-pot meal just with these fresh beans… and here it is posting the recipe which I experimented.
Here, I just included very few basic ingredients from the kitchen counter, as my target was to prepare a rice recipe without any major prep. It would be more tastier to have this, Green Beans Masala Rice, with a spicy curry on the side, though you can have it with any spicy sauce & raita too!!
Before starting to cook, don’t forget to see the Tips mentioned at the end.
