Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Avarakkai (broad beans)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 sprig Curry leaves
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Green chilies, slit lengthwise
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Grated coconut
Instructions
Begin by washing the avarakkai thoroughly. Trim the edges and remove any fibrous strings. Chop them into small pieces about 1/2 inch long.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
Once the mustard seeds start spluttering, add the curry leaves and stir for a few seconds until they become fragrant.
Add the chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Sauté them until the onions become translucent.
Stir in the turmeric powder and mix well to coat the onions.
Add the chopped avarakkai and sprinkle salt over the top. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the avarakkai cook on a low flame for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the beans are cooked through and tender, add the grated coconut and mix well.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish with your main course.
