Rich and creamy Sri Lankan green beans

Rich and creamy Sri Lankan green beans

We ate green beans everywhere we went in Sri Lanka. It always ended up on the table. And we just loved them!
The diagonal cuts let more flavor in to the beans, adding spices before evenly coated and slightly marinated them and the coconut milk really added a creamy rich flavor. Try it out!
