Andhra Style Green Beans & Potato CurryCurries & Gravies

While I have shared many recipes made by my mom/dad/MIL/aunt/KR, the recipe that I am sharing with you today is inspired by my house help back in India. She was a young woman who had a large family to feed. She worked in our house for more than 15 years. She would always find comfort in talking to my mom and sharing her day-to-day problems. Coming from a very low economic background, she always had trouble making ends meet. My parents would help her in many ways. She was the only earning member in the family but she insisted that her daughters get proper education and would strive hard to make that a reality. She hardly took care of herself. My mom would always ensure that she had lunch at our place and also pack some food for her kids. In return, she would help my mom with nearly all the house work that extended beyond her assigned responsibilities.

After my mom passed away, she somehow took it upon herself to feed us food. She would make breakfast, lunch and dinner for us. She being a Maharashtrian, her style of cooking was different but good. Since it was everyday food, she would keep it simple yet flavorful. I only had to tell her to use less oil, the rest she got it right. I still miss her food today on days when I am in no mood to cook. I so wish, she was here to ease of my work load and just keep me company. KR teases me that I miss her more than him and also that she has spoilt me! This is one of her recipes. She would prepare this Andhra Style Green Beans & Potato Curry. She had learnt to make this curry from a lady whose house she worked at besides ours. I would take this in my lunchbox along with freshly prepared rotis by her. The pleasure and aroma of home cooked meal at office lunch is so satisfying and comforting.

    Looks delicious, I types ‘potato and green bean curry’ in google images and scrolled down beofre spotting your picture, it stood out amongst all the others!
    Just a couple of questions, what sort of flavours do the curry leaves add? And why do you add hing?

      Thank you so much. We often use curry leaves in Indian cooking, it has a distinct, pungent taste that can be compared to anise and lemongrass. Hing on the other hand is a very powerful spice and has to be used in proportion as it can easily overpower the whole dish and make it taste bitter. Hing helps with digestion and can ward off flatulence. Hope I answered your question. 🙂
