Avarakkai poriyal/ Broad beans poriyal is a simple, healthy and delicious recipe that can be prepared in very less time. Avarakkai stir fry demands very few ingredients in its making which makes it super easy to prepare. This stir fry goes well with a classic south Indian meal to make it a complete one. For the below recipe I have not added grated coconut but you could add it for enhanced taste. Earlier I had posted a recipe with broad beans like this with AVARAKKAI SAMBAR, I will post more recipes with such veggies here again. So let’s get to the making of Broad beans poriyal!
- 1. Broad beans/ Avarakkai – 2 cups (chopped)
- 2. Turmeric – ¼ tsp
- 3. Salt – to taste
- 4. Water – ¼ cup
- 1. Mustard seeds – ½ tsp
- 2. Urad dal – 1 tsp
- 3. Dried red chilli – 2
- 4. Hing – a pinch
- 5. Oil – 1 tsp
- * 1 cup = 235 ml
- Heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds after it splutters add urad dal after it turns golden brown add dried red chilli and hing, when it turns aromatic add chopped broad beans, salt and turmeric powder. Saute for a minute in medium flame.
- Now add ¼ cup water and mix well. Cover it with a lid and cook in medium flame. It should take about 8 to 10 minutes to get cooked. After 10 minutes remove the lid and give it a gentle stir. Make sure there is no traces of water and the avarakkai/ broad beans look cooked. If you still see water allow the sprouts to cook for some more time with or without lid.
- When the broad beans looks dry put off the flame. Serve it hot!
