Ingredients
~~~~~Spice Ball~~~~~~~~~1/4 cup grated coconut1 green chile/jalapeno, seeds removed and chopped2 coves of garlic, chopped small1/2 tsp ground cumin1/2 tsp ground coriander1/4 tsp paprika1/4 tsp tumeric1 tsp salt1/4 cup water1 Tbs mustard seeds1 Tbs uncooked basmati rice1/2 tsp olive oil (for pan)20 oz frozen green beans
Directions
Combine all ingredients in "spice ball" in mortar. Grind into a rough paste/ball with pestle. Set aside.

In a covered skillet, sprayed with a 3 second spray of atomized olive oil (about 1/2 tsp), fry the mustard seeds, and raw long grain rice until the mustard seeds pop and the rice turns white (about 1 minute). Add the green beans, stir, cover again and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the ~spice ball~ stir to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spices and garlic are fragrant.

Let cool to room temperature (not an easy task!) and enjoy.
Will last in the fridge for 3-4 days, but that is not likely! =)

Makes 4 I-Cup servings.
