Ingredients
- 250 g Avarakkai (broad beans)
- 2 tbsp Grated coconut
- 1 tbsp Oil (preferably coconut oil)
- 0.5 tsp Mustard seeds
- 1 tsp Urad dal
- 2 pieces Dried red chilies
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.25 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 50 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and string the avarakkai (broad beans). Cut them into thin diagonal slices.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Step 3
Add urad dal and roast for a minute until it turns golden brown.
Step 4
Break the dried red chilies in half and add them to the pan along with curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.
Step 5
Add the sliced avarakkai to the pan, followed by turmeric powder and salt. Mix well.
Step 6
Pour in the water, stir, and cover the pan with a lid. Allow it to cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the beans are cooked and the water has evaporated, add the grated coconut. Mix everything thoroughly.

Cook without the lid for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 9
Serve the Vegan Avarakkai Poriyal hot as a side dish with rice or any main course of your choice.
