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
Directions
Step 1
Wash the avarakkai thoroughly. Trim both ends and cut the beans into small pieces around 1cm in size.
Step 2
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil and allow them to splutter.
Step 4
Add urad dal and fry it until it turns golden brown.
Step 5
Break the dried red chilies into halves and add them along with curry leaves to the pan, stirring for a few seconds until aromatic.
Step 6
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it turns translucent.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped avarakkai, turmeric powder, and salt, mixing everything well.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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.
