Ingredients
- 300 grams Avarakkai (broad beans)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad dal (split black gram)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds

- 10 pieces Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 4 tablespoons Grated fresh coconut
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the avarakkai thoroughly under running water. Trim the edges and slice them into thin, even pieces.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the urad dal and cumin seeds to the pan. Sauté for a few seconds until the urad dal turns golden brown.
Add the asafoetida, dried red chilies, and curry leaves. Stir for a few seconds until the curry leaves become crisp.
Add the sliced avarakkai to the pan and stir well to combine with the spices.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder and salt over the avarakkai. Stir again to ensure even coating.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the avarakkai cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check if the avarakkai is tender and cooked. If not, cook for a few more minutes until done.
Add the grated coconut to the pan and mix well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
