A simple, colorful, 20-minute veggie side—perfect for busy weekdays.
- A handful of green beans
- ½ bell pepper, sliced
- ½ onion, sliced
- A handful of cashews
- A pinch of turmeric
- A pinch of chili powder
- A pinch of cumin powder

Instructions
- Sauté the veggies:
Heat oil on high. Add the green beans and bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until they get a little charred and bright. - Add spices:
Sprinkle turmeric, chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well. - Simmer:
Lower the heat, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables soften. - Finish with crunch:
Add sliced onions and cashews. Turn the heat back to high and sauté for another 5 minutes until the onions get golden and the cashews toast. - Serve:
Enjoy hot as a side with quinoa, rice, roti, or a bowl of dal.
I always buy the green beans from Costco, but you can probably find fresh green beans at any stores near you. To see more recipes by me, click here.
