Green Beans Fry

Ingredients
1.   French Beans (Tender and snipped) 2 lbs
2.   Garlic gloves (3)
3.   Ginger  ( 3 thin slices ) You can use as much as you can handle
4.   Sliced almonds  2 or 3 Table spoons
5.   Dry Basil leaves


 Directions
Smash the garlic and ginger in a hand smasher. Heat 3 tsp oil in a heavy pan or skillet, add the smashed ginger and garlic, and fry for 1 minute. Add the green beans and fry over low heat. Add salt as required. Keep it covered until cooked (2 or 3 minutes) Stir frequently and leave it uncovered till all the water dries out.
Add sliced almonds and sprinkle Basil leaves stir and serve hot.
It goes well with Pasta and rice.
Here I have used tender fresh beans.
If you are using regular fresh grocery store green beans, cut the tips and split them into half lengthways so they will cook well in the pan without water.
If you are using frozen green beans, do not cover it. Stir till all the water dries out.
