Spicy French Beans with Onions

Hi there,
Last night, I prepared dinner for him again, this time 3 dishes...
Here's the first dish, it is easy and quick to prepare.
You'll need to chop lots and lots of garlic and shallots.
But its worth the effort, garlic and shallots are good for health.
Garlic lowers cholestrol and have many other benefits while shallots help eliminate toxin from liver and kills cancerous cells.
I need to find what's the best for his health!  :)

Spicy Squid with French Beans


Ingredients
Squids (cut into squares and gently make criss-cross pattern)
French beans

Onions, garlic, shallots (all chopped)
Some tamarind juice (just mix tamarind pulp in some water)

Instructions
1. Fry onions, garlic and shallots in a little olive oil until fragrant.
