1/2 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
6 medium red potatoes (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon mustard seeds, crushed
1/3 cup hot water
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves — I used less mint – half
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup lemon juice (1 lemon) — I used 3 small lemons
salt
fresh mint sprigs
POTATO CHATT MASALA:
MIX TOGETHER:
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne — to 3/4 t. — or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
In a 5- to 6-quart pan, bring about 3 quarts water to boiling. Add [whole] beans and cook, uncovered, until tender to the bite, about 5 minutes. Lift out beans with tongs and immerse in cold water.
Add potatoes to the boiling water [I cut into chunks first and when done, then cut into 1-inch cubes] and simmer, uncovered, until tender when pierced with a knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain; let cool. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
Mix Chatt Masala, coriander, mustard seeds and hot water. Pour over potatoes; mix lightly and let stand about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drain beans and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths. To potatoes, add beans, chopped mint, onion, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix gently and pour into a shallow bowl. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 4 hours. Garnish with mint springs.
