INSTRUCTIONS
Heat butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot, green beans, tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until green beans start to brown and tomatoes are bright red and starting to burst, 5 to 7 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp olive oil)
Add cashews, garam masala, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper to skillet with vegetables. Cook until spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. (TIP: Spices cook quickly, so move to step 3 as soon as the mixture is fragrant.)
