When you are thinking how do I ensure I get my 5 day? The answer is simple make a long green/french bean curry. In Gujarati this is called Posho nu shak. These beans are humble and full of flavour, known for being rich in fibre, potassium, magnesium calcium and vitamin A,B and C. You can add potatoes to this recipe if you like but i prefer the sweet flavour of the beans with the perfect balance of spices. Serve with paratha or chapati.
