Potato beans stir fry
Usually, I make carrot beans stir fry, but this combination was introduced to me by my good friend Surya. It tasted really good. I added grated coconut as I love coconut. This stir fry tastes great when served with rice and sambar or rasam.

Method
Clean and chop potatoes and beans. I used my food processor to make the work easy. Chop onions finely. Heat oil in a pan. Crackle mustard seeds. Add onion and curry leaves. Sauté until the onion turns translucent. Add turmeric powder, chili powder, and asafoetida. Sauté and add veggies. Cover and cook it in medium flame. No need to add water. When half cooked, add salt. Stir occasionally. When it’s cooked add coconut. Stir for a minute. Serve with rice.
