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
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 2 pieces Dried red chilies
- 10 pieces Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 4 tablespoons Grated fresh coconut
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the avarakkai thoroughly under running water. Trim the edges and slice them into thin, even pieces.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Step 3
Add the urad dal and cumin seeds to the pan. Sauté for a few seconds until the urad dal turns golden brown.
Step 4
Add the asafoetida, dried red chilies, and curry leaves. Stir for a few seconds until the curry leaves become crisp.
Step 5
Add the sliced avarakkai to the pan and stir well to combine with the spices.
Step 6
Sprinkle the turmeric powder and salt over the avarakkai. Stir again to ensure even coating.
Step 7
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the avarakkai cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Check if the avarakkai is tender and cooked. If not, cook for a few more minutes until done.
Step 9
Add the grated coconut to the pan and mix well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 10
Serve the Keto Avarakkai Poriyal hot as a side dish or along with your favorite keto-friendly main course.
