"When someone shows you their heart, their past, their wounds, they have entrusted you with the deepest part of themselves. It is the part of themselves that makes them uniquely beautiful. To be trusted in this way is a great honor. Guard that trust with your life."

French Beans Upperi/ Stir Fry
Serves 4
Ingredients:
350 gm french beans, washed and chopped
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 sprigs curry leaves
1 small onion, sliced
3 green chillies, slit
4 tbsp coconut (add more if you like!)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Water as required
Salt to taste
Method:
In a kadai, heat coconut oil. Splutter mustard seeds and fry curry leaves for a couple of seconds. Add the onion and saute till just soft. Now add in the cut beans, chillies, coconut, turmeric powder and water just enough to cover the beans, not more. Add in the salt as required. Keep the flame on high till the water boils and then continue to cook on medium-low flame till the beans is cooked and the water is all dried up.
Serve warm with rice and curry of your choice!!!
Notes:
1. The quantity of water is very important. Pour water just till the level of beans, or even less than that! You can add hot water later if the beans is not fully cooked.
2. Cook without a lid, as the steam accumulates and add more water into the beans making it soggy.
3. If the beans get cooked and there is still water in the pan, separate the beans to the sides with the water in the center and cook on high till the water evaporates. It may cause the beans to get slightly overcooked but still would taste great!
