Directions
Trim the green beans and cut them crosswise at ¼ inch intervals.
Put the ginger and garlic into the container of an electric blender or food processor.
Add ⅓ of the water and blend until fairly smooth.
Heat the oil in a wide, heavy saucepan over a medium flame.
When hot, put in the cumin seeds.
Five seconds later, put in the crushed chili.
As soon as it darkens, pour in the ginger-garlic paste.
Stir and cook for about a minute.
Put in the coriander. Stir a few times.
Now put in the chopped tomatoes.
Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, mashing up the tomato pieces with the back of a slotted spoon as you do so.
Put in the beans, salt and the remaining water.
Bring to simmer.
Cover, turn heat to low and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the beans are tender.
Remove the cover.
Add the lemon juice, roasted cumin, and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper.
Turn heat up and boil away all of the liquid, stirring the beans gently as you do so.
