Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

3 medium granny smith apples (green apples) (415 grams)
5 cups frozen green beans (510 grams) (I used 1 whole frozen bag of 340 grams and another 1/2 bag of frozen green beans)
4 tbsp oil of choice
1/2 tsp asafoetida (heeng)
1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1 whole cloves (laung)
1 whole black cardamom pod (kali elaichi)
2 tbsp kashmiri chili powder
1 and 3/4 cup water (divided)
1/2 tbsp ground ginger (sonth)
1 tbsp ground fennel (saunf powder)
1 tsp ground cumin (jeera powder)
2 and 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garam masala

Equipment

1 deep bottom pan

Method

Rinse and chop each green apple into 4 pieces, with the skin intact.
Heat oil in a wok on medium-high heat. Add in asafoetida, cumin seeds, cloves, whole black cardamom pod and stir. Once the cumin seeds splutter add in green beans and apple. Stir and let it sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Further add in Kashmiri chili powder and 1/4 cup water, and stir. Further, add in ground fennel, ground cumin, ground ginger, salt and stir well.
Next add in 1 and 1/2 cup water and mix well. Change the heat to high flame until it comes to a boil. Once it boils lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the apples and green beans are cooked and soft. The apples shouldn't be mushy and the skin needs to be intact. Check intermittently.
Finally top off with garam masala. Stir well and turn off the heat.
