Green Bean Curry

Tender-crisp green beans simmer in coconut milk infused with curry powder, fenugreek, turmeric, and fresh aromatics for a fragrant, gently spicy dish. A squeeze of lime brightens the sauce, making this Green Bean Curry a satisfying vegetarian side or main alongside steamed rice. Great for weeknights yet special enough for sharing.
