French style green beans in Indian style

French style beans are my hubby's favorite. Most of them will have them just by boiling them in the salt water and season with the spices they wish. I love having them in any way. Though it belong to beans family, it taste unique. I can just eat the curry with out rice/roti. French style beans are little thin compared to regular beans and they cook very fast. Now coming to Indian style recipe.
