Number Of Ingredients 16

250g green bean , trimmed
1 head of broccoli , cut into florets
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp black mustard seed
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
100g frozen pea (or use fresh)
3 large carrots , grated
large bunch coriander , roughly chopped
3 tbsp sunflower seed
200ml natural yogurt
½ cucumber , peeled and grated
thumb-sized piece ginger , grated
½ tsp ground cumin
juice and zest 1 lime
1 tbsp chopped mint leaves
pitta bread , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the green beans in a large pan of boiling salted water for 4-5 mins, adding the broccoli after the first 2 mins. Once all the vegetables are tender, drain well. Meanwhile, mix all the raita ingredients together, then set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan and toast the mustard seeds and chilli flakes for a few mins until fragrant. Add the peas, green beans and broccoli, tossing until heated through. Turn off the heat and stir in the carrots and coriander.
  • Serve the salad warm (or cold for a working lunch) with a dollop of raita, sprinkled with sunflower seeds and some pitta bread, if you like.
