Recipe Ingredients

First of all, check if you have all the necessary ingredients for this recipe. Pay attention to the quantities!
  • 3 small bundles of snake beans, the fresher the better
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 fresh green / red chillies
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated coconut
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!

  1. Break off the ends of the snake beans and break off into inch sized pieces. Rinse through and drain and keep aside.

  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.

  3. Slit the chillies in length, but not all the way through. This way you get all the flavor but not much of the heat.

  4. Let the chillies fry up for a few seconds till they get fragrant.

  5. Add the chopped onions and saute till the onions have softened and get slightly brown on the edges.

  6. Add the snake beans and stir them in for a while. You will see the green color of the beans turn a darker shade.

  7. Add the salt and let the bean stir fry for about 2 minutes.

  8. Add a splash of water, a very small amount to prevent the beans from burning and help them cook through.

  9. Cover the pan and let it cook. Add more water, if needed.

  10. When the beans are almost cooked, add the freshly grated coconut and stir through.

  11. Serve hot as a side dish with some Goan fish curry or prawn curry and rice or with some chapatis.
