GREEN BEANS THORAN (GREEN BEANS WITH COCONUT)
A delicious accompaniment to almost any Indian meal, this Kerala classic can be prepared with French beans, stringless beans, the oriental asparagus bean known as lobhia, or in fact almost any kind of firm vegetable cut into small pieces. Adjust the amount of chili to your personal preference. The original recipe called for 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, but this can be easily cut down. Use coconut oil, if you wish, to be authentic. For your convenience, this dish can be cooked ahead, and heated gently at the time of serving. Adapted from a recipe by Madhur Jaffrey.

Steps:
- Wash, string beans if necessary, make several bundles (for convenience) and slice them crosswise into 1/4-inch segments.

- Now cover over the spices with some of the beans, season with salt, and add the water to the pan.

STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH COCONUT
Everyone I cook for most often seems to love coconut; I've realized finally that it's a very easy way to keep them all happy. What I like about this particular dish is that the coconut adds flavor without excessive richness. Serve this as a side dish to a more formal meal or with lentils and rice for a simple dinner at home.

Steps:
- Combine the oil, yellow split peas, and mustard seeds, if using, in a large wok, kadai, or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the split peas turn golden brown. 1 to 2 minutes. (Cover if using mustard seeds-they pop and splatter-and cook until you hear them crackle.)
- Add the urad dal, chiles, curry leaves, if using, and cumin and cook uncovered, stirring, 1 more minute. (Stand back if using curry leaves; they spit when they hit the oil.)
- Add the asafoetida, if using, and 1/4 cup of the coconut and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the beans and salt and cook, stirring, 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup coconut, the saambhar or rasam powder, if using, and the water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Uncover and cook, stirring often, until all of the water has evaporated, about 5 more minutes. Taste for salt and serve hot.
BIHARI GREEN BEANS MASALA
This succulent green bean dish, in a gently spiced sauce of coconut milk, is from Bihar, a state in India. "It is an everyday, simple dish that is several hundred years old," said Julie Sahni, a cooking teacher, and author of eight cookbooks. The dish requires fresh green string beans, not French haricot verts or Asian long beans, which are thinner, and more dense. "The string beans will plump up, and absorb some of the sauce," said Ms. Sahni. The recipe can be adapted for 12 ounces of raw cauliflower, carrots, eggplant, or brussels sprouts. For the eggplant, Ms. Sahni uses the long, slender Japanese ones, and cuts them on the diagonal, in one-inch slices. She trims and peels the carrots, and cuts them like the eggplant, in one-inch diagonal slices. For the cauliflower, she uses the florets, and cuts them in pieces that are one and a half inches in diameter. For Brussels sprouts, she trims and discards the stems, and cuts the vegetable in half. Very fresh cauliflower cooks in four minutes, the other vegetables in six minutes, Ms. Sahni said.

GREEN BEAN CURRY
I ate this with rice or coconut roti almost every evening in Sri Lanka-- I could not get enough of it! Using fresh ingredients is of the utmost importance. Some of the ingredients may be difficult to find, but they really are essential. This goes very well with rice as a vegetarian entree or alone as a side dish.
