drained
4 ounce Ghee
4 ounce Cooking oil
1 md Onion
2 Cloves garlic
2 tablespoon Fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Coriander seed
1 teaspoon Fenugreek seed

the heat and cover the saucepan with a tightfitting lid. Simmer
gently until the beans are just starting to become tender adding more
water if necessary.

Heat the ghee or cooking oil in a heavy saucepan. Peel and finely

well for another minute.

Drain the water from the beans and add the beans to the saucepan,
turning well to ensure they are well coated with the spice mixture.

completely cooked through.
