Green Bean with Ginger and Tomatoes

The dinner with my friend to share Indian food was a success!  I have tons and tons of food magazines and they all these laid out menus, right?  Well I’ve never followed one of those until now.  I made the whole dinner menu from Feast on Flavor from Everyday Food volume 85.  I had told you I was going to make the Spiced Potatoes and Onions, those were just okay.  My favorite dish of the night was Green Beans with Ginger and Tomatoes.
