Ingredients
- 250 grams Avarakkai (broad beans)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad dal
- 2 Dried red chilies
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 medium Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Grated coconut
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the avarakkai thoroughly, trim the edges, and slice them thinly.
Step 2
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Step 3
Add urad dal, dried red chilies, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute until the urad dal turns golden brown.
Step 4
Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Step 5
Add the sliced avarakkai, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the spices evenly.
Step 6
Pour in 1/4 cup of water, stir, and cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender.
Step 7
Once the beans are cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to let any remaining water evaporate.
Step 8
Add the grated coconut to the pan, mixing well to combine all the ingredients. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the salt if necessary before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish with rice or roti.
