Now add turmeric powder, coriander powder, green chilli, red chilli and mix them well. Now add salt and cluster beans pieces to it and stir it for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 table spoon water into it, cover it with a lid and leave it for 10 minutes on medium flame.
Now take off the lid, and you will see that the beans have become tender. Add amchoor powder in it and again leave it for 3-4 minutes on a medium flame with a covered lid. Cluster beans vegetable is ready to serve now.
Take out the vegetable in a serving dish and garnish it with finely chopped fresh green coriander. You can serve it with chapatis and paranthas.
I noticed that this does not cook well when fried along with spices. Beans should be pressure coooked first.
