I love the combination of green beans, potatoes and simple spices. It’s a classic combination – fresh, zesty and perfect as a side dish for rice or roti. The beans aloo recipe goes very well with any kind of Indian Bread, be it roti, paratha or even as a side with some plain steamed rice and dal.

Can you cook the Aloo beans sabji in a pressure cooker?

Yes, of course, you can. If you are short on time, you can easily pop it in the pressure cooker for the super fast finish on a hectic weekday. Potatoes take longer than green beans to cook, so I just pop the potatoes in first till it is half cooked and then toss in the green beans. Soft and juicy tender potatoes with lightly crunchy green beans, this is just a perfect side dish.

How to cut the potatoes and beans for making the beans aloo recipe?

Dice the potatoes into small cubes and cut them into large pieces. You can also cut them lengthwise. For the green beans, remove the ends of it, and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

What are the ingredients for making the Aloo beans sabji?

The key ingredients that are required for making this dish, as the name suggests, are potato and green beans. Rest of the ingredients are the other basic items like the garlic and spices. You can make this recipe with ingredients that are right in your pantry.

Pro Tips / Important things to remember while making the aloo beans sabji

  1. You can use the pressure cooker if you want to shorten the time.
  2. Cut the potatoes in whatever size that you desire. If you are cooking in pressure cooker, then you can make the pieces big. But if you are cooking on stove-top them cut them small.
  3. Cook on low flame without adding water for maximum flavor and taste. But you can also add water if required.
  4. If your potatoes take a shorter time to cook, then add both the potatoes and beans together.
