Tips:

  • If you don’t want to use butter, you can just use olive oil.
  • Blanching the green beans helps to preserve bright green color and flavor. You can skip blanching the green beans but they can turn little bit crispier without blanch.
  • You can also use cream instead of milk.
  • You can add herbs of your choice to give an extra flavour.
