Broad beans poriyal / Avarakkai poriyal in Tamil is an easy, healthy broad beans recipe I make in my kitchen at least once in a week. Its a Tamilnadu style avarakkai poriyal recipe I learnt from my MIL. We make this poriyal without onion and garlic. Its one of the easy avarakkai recipes that can be prepared in a pressure cooker directly. You can use pattai avarakkai / thick variety broad beans or sanna avarakkai / thin broad beans to make this poriyal. Both tastes good. I have used 1 carrot as I had less broad beans in hand. Its optional. In some hotels, they add carrot too. I have used moong dal in this recipe. You can either skip it or use chana dal instead.
Friends, do try this easy Tamilnadu style avarakkai poriyal recipe directly in a pressure cooker. You will love it. For variations, you can add onion. Instead of grated coconut , you can use roasted peanut powder or even roasted flax seed powder. Its a healthy option too. Ok, lets see how to make broad beans poriyal with step by step pictures.
