French beans, also known as lobiya or haricot verts, are slim, tender green pods used in Indian and international cooking. Their mild flavor and crisp texture make them ideal for stir-fries, sabzis, pulao, and salads. French beans are easy to cook and can be steamed, sauted, or added to mixed vegetables. They pair well with mustard seeds, garlic, and coconut for South Indian dishes. Choose beans that are firm, evenly green, and snap easily. A staple in both traditional and modern kitchens, French beans are appreciated for their ease of preparation and fresh taste.
