This is a quick pickle that requires mustard oil to get a really pungent flavor, along with a few ground spices, fresh onion, lemon and salt.
Ingredients
½ pound green string beans, stems removed
1½ tablespoons mustard oil
¼ white or yellow onion, cut into ringlets
1 teaspoon coriander powder
¼ teaspoon chili powder
⅓ teaspoon turmeric
squeeze of lemon
salt
Instructions
Wash string beans. Bring a pot of water to boil. Add in string beans and cook for 4 minutes or until they are bright green and still crunchy. Throw beans into a bath of ice water for 5 minutes.
Drain the string beans and dry them completely.
Put string beans in a bowl with mustard oil, onion, coriander powder, chili powder, turmeric and mix well. Add a squeeze of lemon and salt and mix well.
Cover bowl and place in fridge. The beans should be ready to eat in 2 hours and will keep for the week in the fridge.
