Notes

Broad Beans- Select fresh and tender broad beans or avarakkai for best tasting poriyal. If the broad beans is very matured the poriyal will turn more chewy and hard.
Coconut- Freshly grated coconut is what recommended for this recipe. You can also use frozen coconut but thaw it well before adding. Do not use sweetened coconut though.
Serving Suggestions - Serve hot or warm with rice.
