Recipe Introduction
Note from BL: The word Korma simply means braised. In essence this is Indian stir fry. I subbed out dairy products.

Heat the vegetable ghee in a large heavy pot over moderate heat and saute the onions until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the string beans and cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 2 minutes.
