This is an addition to my “Chana Masala” dish. Whenever i prepare my lentil/beans dishes, i always ensure i also do a vegetable dish, and this green beans and potato dish is simple, yet very flavourful. Winter has hit Johannesburg and nothing sounds better than a hearty home cooked curry served with hot roti of the griddle pan.
