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.
