  1. Hi. Thank you for the perfect North Indian Sabzi. Was searching the internet for such dry sabzi recipes and I came across yours.

    During my school days, we had a caterer who would supply chapathi with sabzi. It would look simple yet delicious.

    I craved for that recipe and I believe my search ends here. Thanks again for the super quick and easy recipe.

    Made it twice already. Easy? Quick and Delicious.

  2. I need to double or triple (6 cups green beans) the recipe. Just need to know if I keep the spice ratio the same and up each of the ingredients or which spice should I not increase. Dinner guests are coming and I’ve not tried this before – but diving right in. Thx!

    • Hey Kiran, the potatoes need to be slightly fried before adding the beans till they start browning on the edges. Then you can cook potatoes & beans together covered with a lid for 10-15 minutes till they are soft. This is a stir fried vegetable dish, so you wouldn’t need to add any water.
