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

  • Salt to taste

  • 1–2 tsp oil

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Add spices:
    Sprinkle turmeric, chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well.

  3. Simmer:
    Lower the heat, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables soften.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
