- Comments: The green beans common in India resemble Blue Lake beans and they are almost always minced into small pcs before cooking so which they can be scooped up with bread at a meal. In Indian cooking, vegetables are always cooked till quite tender; this way, they absorb the flavors of the spices in that they simmer.
