For Boiling Vegetable

  • 500 grams Avarakkai – Broad Bean
  • 1/3 cup Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder

For Tempering

  • 2 teaspoon Peanut Oil

  • 2 sprigs Curry Leaves
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped

Add in the chopped onions and the salt. Fry till the onions are soft and translucent. Add in the boiled vegetables and freshly shredded coconut. Fry for a minute. Switch off the flame and remove from heat.
  4. Serve hot with rice and dal for lunch.
