A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender green beans tossed in a flavorful spiced butter, topped with fresh tomatoes.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to brown slightly.
Browning the butter adds a nutty flavor to the dish.
Add the garam masala and salt to the butter and stir to combine.
Toast the spices briefly to enhance their aroma and flavor.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the spiced butter.
Ensure the green beans are well coated for maximum flavor.
