Method:

Heat 45ml oil in a large frying pan and fry the butternut over a medium to low heat, stirring occasionally until almost tender. Add the beans and continue to fry for a few more minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the cumin and mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the curry leaves, chillies, turmeric and onion. Fry for five minutes, then add the ginger, butternut, beans, tomatoes and salt to taste. Mix well until heated through, then add the coriander.
