Avarakkai Paruppu Curry / Broad Beans Paruppu Curry Recipe

November 23, 2015 29 Comments

I came across this really simple recipe at Sra’s and immediately wanted to try it with the beans I had lying idle in my fridge. I had only about 10-12 beans so added more toor dal than in her original recipe. The taste was very similar to beans parippu usli but the broad beans gave it a slightly different look and flavour.


Avarakkai Paruppu Curry Recipe

Ingredients:
Broad beans / avarakka – 12
Toor dal – 1/2 cup, soaked in water for 30 mins
Chopped garlic – 6 pods
Red chillies – 4, broken into 1″ pieces
Jeera powder – one pinch

How I Made It:

1. Boil the beans in some water till tender. Leave aside.

2. Temper mustard seeds in little oil and fry the chopped garlic till brown. Add the chillies and jeera powder.

3. Mix in the beans and toor dal and fry well for another 3-4 minutes. Add salt and remove from fire.

It was really yummy with some tangy rasam. Quick to make with minumum ingredients – my kind of recipe 🙂 Thanks Sra!

    The beans in the glass look good. Can’t believe you felt bad about sending in stuff for CLICK!
    I make this using moong dal, which cooks along with the beans.

    Oh Nags, how I miss broad beans, we call then Avarakai in Kannada. Those frozen ones I get here are really stringy and horrible. Looks mouthwatering, you lucky girl! Enjoy:))

    Nags, that’s a beauty of a photo, the first one! I’m really in love with it! And the end product looks good too, my aunt makes a lot of veggies this way and those dishes look exactly like this. Thanks!
