Avarakkai  Poriyal is a preparation where vegetable are sauté in spices and topped with fresh grated coconut. The  ingredients need are chopped avarakkai or broad beans, grated coconut, turmeric, chilli powder, onion, salt and water. Mainly serve broad beans poriyal for rasam, sambar and curd rice. I recommended to choose avarakkai  as young as the older ones are difficult to cook not boil easily.

Few instruction which helpful for beginners. Avarakkai soak in water to get rid of dirt. Then need to remove strings are very fibrous but not pleasant to eat. First remove tip of one end of the bean with a pairing knife and pull the string . Remove other end of the strings too. Note that the tender young bean might not have strings so remove the ends alone.  Chopped avarakkai as small pieces.  Avarakkai poriyal recipe with step by step photos.
