Amarakaya Mezhukavarti (Broad beans side dish)

 

 

Papadi (amarakya in kerala) was one of my favorite vegetable. It’s a form of beans called broad beans in English. Our Amma used to make variety of curry and side dish with it. Like amarakya ellisery amarya thoran and amarkya mezhukavarti. From childhood. Amma had made the point that we ate all the vegetables as my elder brother was little hesitant in eating vegetables .This is a side dish which can accompanied with any curry and pickle. I love to have it with just curd rice. It’s a simple and easy recipe...
