French Beans in Coconut Curry is not just tasty but also visually appealing. The bright green of the beans stands out well against the white gravy.

The addition of roasted peanuts makes the dish all the more special, because the nuts complement the beans very well, and add a delightful crunch to the gravy.

Enjoy this curry with rotis or parathas .
