To make the dish seen in the picture, you will need:
Long beans - washed and cut/broken by hand into long pieces - 250 gms (see pic below)
Onions - chopped - 2 medium sized OR 1 cup
Ginger - peeled and pounded - 1 large OR 2 tbsp
Green chilly - 1
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder - 1/2 tsp
Jeera/ Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Curry leaves - 1 strand (optional)
Oil - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Method:
- Boil the cut beans in 1 cup of water with salt, turmeric, and red chilly powder in a pan, and keep aside
- Grind more than half of the chopped onions, ginger, and green chilly to a coarse paste
- In another pan, heat the oil, temper with mustard seeds and curry leaves (optional), and add the remaining chopped onions
- Fry the onions until light brown, and add the onion-ginger paste
- Add the jeera, coriander powders and stir well
- Mix the boiled beans into this paste and cook on low flame for 3-5minutes until semi-dry
Note: If you do not wish the dish to be spicy, please avoid the use of red chilly powder while boiling the vegetable. The onion paste and use of onions in the dish renders it to be only mildly hot.

Sorry to hear that cops are the same India, I guess it's just a small world :)
This subzi really made my mouth water, Shreya. I don't usually see these beans at my local Indian grocery store. I am guessing one could substitute with regular green beans?
