Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Wash and string Indian flat beans, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Dice the onion, tomato, and potato into uniform chunks for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for 20 seconds for aromatic tempering.

  3. 3

    Sauté onions with a pinch of salt on medium-high heat until translucent, about 3 minutes, to build a flavorful base.

  4. 4

    Add the diced potatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Stir in turmeric, coriander, and chili powder to ensure spices coat the vegetables.

  5. 5

    Add tomatoes and flat beans. Mix well, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans and potatoes are tender but not mushy.

  6. 6

    Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, and cook off excess moisture for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently so the sabzi remains fluffy and separated.
