Cookd masalas for broad beans
Method
Get ready by washing the chikkudukaya (broad beans). Trim both ends, remove the side strings and cut the beans into small pieces. Slice the onion, chop the tomato, slit the green chillies and crush the garlic. Wash and finely chop the coriander leaves.
Heat oil in a kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add mustard seeds and cumin and fry for 30 seconds until they splutter. Add the garlic and green chilli and fry for 1 minute until the raw smell of the garlic goes.
Add the onion and salt. Fry on medium flame for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion turns soft and light golden. Add the tomato and fry for 2 minutes until it softens.
Add turmeric powder, chikkudukaya and red chilli powder. Pour in the water and mix well. Cover and cook on low flame for 10 to 12 minutes until the beans are almost tender.
Remove the lid and cook on medium flame for 5 to 7 minutes. Stir at intervals until the beans are tender, light brown in places and no water remains.
Add the coriander leaves and mix. Cook for 1 minute until the fry is dry, then switch off the flame.
