Avarakkai kootu is a simple south Indian vegetable side dish for rice. Made with moong dal, broad beans and a hint of tanginess with tomato. Step by step pictures recipe.
I make broad beans kootu rarely but still was surprised to realize I have not posted avarakkai kootu and avarakkai poriyal in my blog. So thought of posting avarakkai kootu. I usually do not add tomato in kootu. But since I am posting similar kootu recipes always, thought of trying with tomato and post it. It was really good with tomato.

Avarakkai kootu is a simple south Indian vegetable side dish for rice. Made with moong dal, broad beans and a hint of tanginess with tomato. Step by step pictures recipe.
Avarakkai kootu recipe

Ingredients

Broad beans/ Avarakkai, chopped – 3 cups, approx.
Moong dal – 1/4 cup
Tomato – 1
Sambar powder – 1 & 1/2 tsp
Turmeric – 1/8 tsp
Sugar – 1/4 tsp
Salt – As needed
To grind
Coconut, grated – 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp
Rice flour – 1/2 tsp
To temper
Oil – 2 tsp
Mustard – 1/2 tsp
Urad dal – 1 tsp
Curry leaves – 1 sprig

Method

  1. Eliminate the end of the broad beans using a paring knife by cutting a little part and you can also eliminate the excess thick fibre in the sides. Clean and cut into thin strips.
  2. Add moong dal in small pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water, broad beans, tomato, turmeric, salt, sugar and sambar powder. Pressure cook for 3 whistles in medium flame.
  3. Meanwhile grind coconut, rice flour and cumin seeds with little water to slightly coarse paste.
  4. Once the pressure cooking part is done, add the ground coconut mixture.
  5. Mix well and bring to boil. Temper with mustard, urad dal and curry leaves in oil. Mix into the kootu.

Notes

  • If you do not have sambar powder, you can use red chilli powder too. Or skip and grind green chilli with coconut and add to the kootu.
  • I have used 2 litre cooker for this.
