Indian Green Bean Recipe

We love green beans and we love Indian food, so this recipe seems like a natural to us. We found it in the book "Sampling the Cuisine of India" by Sambhu Banik. It has a touch of sweet and heat, and is super easy to prepare. Today most grocery stores carry jarred ghee in their international food sections.

Thanksgiving Dinner
Last Thanksgiving was the first Thanksgiving meal I've ever cooked, at the tender age of 48. I'd always had a parent's house to go to, or a friends house, or had gone to a restaurant/buffet for Thanksgiving with friends. I am now married and between my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and myself we decided that I'd be responsible for Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily there are only eight of us.
