Green Beans & Potato Nutrition
Green beans contain vitamin A, which is good for healthy eyes and skin. Eat beans for a good source of fiber, protein, iron, and vitamin B. Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, and a good source of potassium (more than a banana!). Potatoes are fat-, sodium- and cholesterol-free.

Potato (Aloo): I have used 1 medium Yukon gold potato diced into 1-inch pieces. You can use any variety of potatoes. Green Beans (French Beans/Brechbohnen): I have used fresh organic green beans cut into 1-inch pieces. It is also known as French Beans or Brechbohnen in grocery stores. Onion: I have used one small red onion. Ginger: use freshly minced ginger for the best flavor. Green Chili: I have used 1 Thai chili for the heat. You may also use Serrano chili pepper or Birdeye.

Add the chopped green beans, potatoes, water, spices like coriander powder, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and mix well.
