Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Avarakkai (Broad Beans)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad dal
- 2 pieces Dried red chilies
- 10 pieces Curry leaves
- 1 medium (chopped) Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Grated coconut
Instructions
Wash the avarakkai thoroughly. Trim both ends and cut the beans into small pieces around 1cm in size.
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil and allow them to splutter.
Add urad dal and fry it until it turns golden brown.
Break the dried red chilies into halves and add them along with curry leaves to the pan, stirring for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it turns translucent.
Stir in the chopped avarakkai, turmeric powder, and salt, mixing everything well.
Sprinkle a little water over the vegetables to help them cook evenly. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on a low flame for about 10-12 minutes, or until the avarakkai is tender.
Once the avarakkai is cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Stir in the grated coconut and fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the coconut to combine well with the beans.
Turn off the heat and transfer the nut-free avarakkai poriyal to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish with rice or roti.
