Prep
Wash the beans and asparagus. I add a little white vinegar to the water and let them rest for 5-10 mins. Then rinse them off with water.
I use a chopper to cut the beans and asparagus into small pieces. Chopper makes it quick and efficient. I chop them as a part of my weekend meal prep and store them in the fridge.
Cooking
Heat oil in a pan, add garlic, and saute for a few seconds; add mustard seeds, chana dal, dried red chili, and turmeric. Saute them until golden.
Then add curry leaves and saute until the leaves are crisp
Add the French beans and asparagus and cook until soft on medium flame. Keep stirring in between to avoid burning.
Add chili powder and mix well. Cook for a couple of minutes and turn off the stove
