occasionally. The beans will lose their colour & soften. When all
the moisture has been absorbed, stir-fry the beans for 2 to 3
minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover & simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, till
the beans are tender. Add more water if necessary, 1/2 cup at a
time. When cooked, the dish should be very moist but not watery.
