Charred Green Beans with Curry Yogurt and Cashews

August 9, 2019 by Tonja Leave a Comment

One taste of these quick-charred green beans, and you’ll never steam them again.  This dish is all about contrast—smoky charred green beans, cooling yogurt infused with curry oil, and a cashew crunch to top it off.  Addicting, and so flavorful.  I’m definitely heading back to the farmers market for more beans pronto.

“Blooming” is a great technique for extracting extra flavor out of spices.  It’s a method where you gently fry spices in oil and cook just until the they smell nice and toasty; any longer and you risk burning them.

I hope you love this dish as much as I do!
