1. Dice the potatoes. Trim the edges of the French beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
2. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafoetida. Let them sizzle until fragrant. Add the green chili and chopped ginger. Mix well and sauté for a minute.
3. Add the diced potatoes and mix well. Add salt, cover the pan, and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften. Toss in the French beans and mix well with the potatoes.
4. Add turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, amchur, and kasoori methi. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly. Pour in the water and mix well, deglazing the pan as you stir.
