I ate this green bean curry with rice or coconut roti almost every evening in Sri Lanka, and I could not get enough of it! Using fresh ingredients is of the utmost importance. Some ingredients may be difficult to find, but they are essential. This goes very well with rice as a vegetarian entrée or alone as a side dish.
