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.
