| Sri Lankan Green Beans Fry-Bonchi thel dala |
Sri Lankan Green Beans Fry will sure win your heart! This is a quick & easy green beans recipe from Sri Lankan Cuisine. We don’t use coconut milk here as of most of other Sri Lankan recipes. We like this as a side dish & well goes with plain rice. If you check this Green Beans Curry recipe, the steps are more similar to this dish, but finally we add coconut milk to make it as a curry. Sometimes it is interesting to see how the flavor is different from each dish only by changing an ingredient.
Here is the recipe for Sri Lankan Green Beans Fry.(Bonchi Thel Dala).

Looks very homely n hearty.What is pandan leaves Amy
We use pandan leaves(Screwpine Leaf/Rampa) in Sri Lankan cooking specially for the aroma.In a curry recipe,it is an optional item same as curry leaves….

So I’m from America but my husband is from Sri Lanka. I try to make dishes close to home for him but i can not get the green beans to be soft. How can i fix this? Can i boil them first
No need to boil them first,usually green beans are bit crunchy.But I cook few more minutes until they are soft.The colour of Green beans will change,but still it is tasty and soft.Remove from heat before it is overcooked.
