Aloo Beans / Indian Green Beans Recipe - Instant Pot & Stovetop

Cumin seeds (Jeera)

Garlic (chopped)

Green chili pepper (chopped (optional))

Green Beans (chopped in 1/2 inch pieces)

(medium,

Water

Coriander powder (Dhaniya powder)

Ground Turmeric (Haldi powder)

Cayenne Chili powder

Salt

Dry Mango powder (Amchur) ((can be replaced with lemon juice))

Start the instant pot in sauté mode, heat it and then add oil.  Heating the pot first helps later, so the veggies don't stick to the bottom. Then add cumin seeds, garlic and green chili.

When the cumin seeds start to splutter, add chopped green beans, potatoes and water.  Add spices except dry mango powder and mix well. If anything is stuck to the bottom of the pot, scrape it off.&nbsp;

Close the instant pot lid, and change setting to manual or pressure cook mode at high pressure for 2 minutes. When the instant pot beeps, release the pressure after 5 minutes of the beep. (Note: Quick release also works well for this recipe to retain the color of the green beans)

Mix in the dry mango powder.  If there is any water, change the setting to saute mode and get it to your desired consistency.  Aloo Beans are ready to be served with roti or naan.

For Instant Pot Method

Heat a pan on medium heat and add oil to it.&nbsp;Then add cumin seeds, garlic and green chili. Saute for a few seconds.&nbsp;

When the cumin seeds start to splutter, add chopped green beans, potatoes and water. Add spices except dry mango powder and mix well.

Cover the pan with a lid, and cook on medium-low heat until the potatoes and green beans are cooked and tender. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.&nbsp;

Mix in the dry mango powder. If there is any remaining liquid, then cook uncovered for a couple of minutes.&nbsp;Aloo Beans are ready to be served with roti or naan.

Press saute button on your instant pot. Pour oil to the steel insert.

When the oil turns hot, add mustard, red chili, urad dal and chana dal. Saute for a minute or so until the dal turns golden.

Then stir in curry leaves and hing. Add chopped beans, turmeric and salt.

Press cancel and pour 2 tablespoons water. Mix and secure the Instant pot with the lid. Press pressure cook and set the timer to &quot;zero&quot; minutes.

Once done, quick release the instant pot carefully. Open the lid and add red chilli powder or sambar powder. Mix well and saute just for a minute or so until the sambar powder smells good. If you see any moisture at the bottom, simply evaporate it. Add coconut and mix well.

Stir beans poriyal and serve it.
