Tawa Frying Makes Life Easier

 Bilkul! Jab mann ho simple, no-masala aur healthy khane ka — tab tawa-fried garlic beans ek perfect choice hai. Na zyada masale, na complex steps — bas asli swaad mustard oil, garlic aur fresh beans ka.




🫛 Tawa-Fried Garlic Beans (No-Masala Recipe)

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

  • 200g fresh green beans (ends trimmed)

  • 6–8 garlic cloves (lightly crushed, no chopping needed)

  • 1.5 tbsp mustard oil (gramiya or cold-pressed preferred)

  • Salt to taste

  • (Optional) 1/4 tsp turmeric

  • (Optional) 1/2 tsp black pepper


👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Method:

  1. Heat iron tawa on medium flame until hot.

  2. Add mustard oil and let it smoke lightly to release its pungency.

  3. Toss in beans and garlic together. Spread evenly.

  4. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes – no water needed.

  5. Uncover, sprinkle salt, and give a gentle stir.

  6. Cover again and cook for another 3–4 minutes until beans turn slightly soft and aromatic.

  7. Uncover and dry-roast for 2–3 minutes for that tawa-charred effect.

  8. Add a pinch of haldi or black pepper only if desired — but it tastes amazing even without.


🌿 Why This Recipe Works:

  • No spices needed: Garlic and mustard oil bring enough flavor on their own.

  • Nutrient-rich: Beans retain crunch, fiber, and green color due to gentle tawa cooking.

  • Fast and fuss-free: Ready in under 10 minutes.


🍽️ Serve With:

  • Steamed rice and dal

  • Chapati or millet rotis

  • As a warm salad or tiffin side
