Avarakkai curry recipe | South Indian style avarakkai poriyal recipe with step-by-step pictures.

We usually make Avarakkai curry by just cooking it and adding coconut at the end. Being bored of making that, I wanted to make it in a different way. This is a different way of making broad beans poriyal which I learned from a friend. Everyone at home liked it and we had this avarakkai poriyal with rasam rice. Check out my beans curry and carrot peas cabbage poriyal .
