Hope everybody is enjoying the holiday season! Here is another dish made of avarekayi, the season's favourite, at least in Karnataka! :) I usually have this just as is.
Ingredients:
Avarekalu (field beans) - 1 cup, cooked
1 tbsp fresh, shredded coconut
2 green chillies, chopped
1 tsp chopped cilantro
salt and lime juice to taste
For the tadka:
Oil, mustard seeds, turmeric powder & curry leaves
Method:
Boil the beans in a pressure cooker and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan and do the tadka. Add chopped green chilies and saute for a few seconds.
Add the cooked avarekaalu and salt to taste. Toss around a few times so everything gets mixed well.
Add the coconut and lime juice. Finish with chopped cilantro.
Let is sit a while so the beans can soak all the flavors.

Oh yes avrekai is such a favourite in this season !! Here you get an equivalent in the lilva...Your eggplant dish looks gorgeous...Shiok had some amazing food, its a pity they shut down...
Looks tempting Vani.
I don't know which bean is called 'avrekai' is it the green ones those look like rajma.
Looks like Sundal (what we call in Tamil)-can be eaten like snack :)
Vani, wishing you and your family Happy New Year!
Those flat beans -- this is not something I would find fresh in the Indian grocery is it? Looks so good and just the thing to get me off the rich holiday munching :)
Missing avarekalu here. I like to eat usli as a snack and love it!
Wish you a happy new year ahead Vani!
Shoba- I hear you. I'd use frozen tuvar lilva there. Not quite the same.

Priyanka - they are flatter then rajma. I'll find a link for the pics and send you.
Cham - yeah, avarekalu sundal :)
Linda - happy 2012! hope you had a great Christmas. No, these are not available in Indian stores. The closest to this are available in the freezer section, called tuvar lilva.
