For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of asafoetida (hing) along with the garlic and mustard seeds. Adjust the amount of red chile pepper to suit your spice preference. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the chile before crushing. Fresh green beans are essential for the best texture and flavor. Avoid using canned or frozen beans. Garnish with fresh cilantro or shredded coconut for added visual appeal and a burst of freshness.
