This recipe for sem ki sabzi, courtesy of Madhur Jaffrey, flavors green beans with fresh ginger and fiery green chiles. Beans in India are generally fully cooked and rarely crisp. They absorb the spices much better this way. If you wish to steam the beans instead of parboiling them, do so for about 12 minutes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add beans and cook until bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
