Very simple, healthy to eat is this Broad Beans Stir Fry or Aavryachi Bhaji. I got introduced to this vegetable only after coming to Bangalore. We don’t get this vegetable in Goa. But I cook this vegetable just like any other beans subzi. This is very simple and easy to cook, but sometimes it takes time to get cooked.
My kid however does not like to eat this vegetable, but we feed it to her by mixing it with rice. This is a very nutritious vegetable. There are several ways of cooking this, but I prefer making it this simple way. You can add potato to this and garam masala for taste. Hubby loves vegetables and gets different types of veggies. This vegetable has become a weekly favorite at home too.
Whenever my mom visits us, I get this vegetable. She too loves it and always says that we get varieties veges in Bangalore, just like how we get varieties of fish in Goa J
Ingredients: Prep. Time: 20 Min’s, Serves: 4
3 cups broad beans chopped
1 cup onion chopped
2 tbsp. grated coconut
1 green chili
1 tsp grated jaggery
2 tbsp. oil
3 cups water
Salt to taste
Procedure:
Heat a kadai/wok. Add oil. When oil heats, add onion and sauté till onion turns pinkish.
Add the chopped broad beans and sauté for 2 Min’s. Add grated coconut, jaggery and green chili and mix.
Now add water, close lid and simmer till the broad beans get cooked and till water gets absorbed.
Add salt to taste.
Note:
This vegetable takes too long to get cooked. You can pressure cook the chopped vegetable and add to sautéed onion.
I prefer boiling it in water over the gas.
You can add turmeric and red chili powder too.
Addition of jaggery is important as this vegetable tastes slightly bitter at times.
lovely stir fry recipe dear
