Life has been pretty hectic for me, the dull weather here is also adding to my blues. Most times I am so occupied with day to day chores at home that I don't get time to blog like before. But I promise to visit and feed my little space every week. Of late I am more into a vegetarian diet, I am restricting my non veg craving to 1 day a week, mostly weekend. I must say that I am feeling more full and eating healthy. Also to add to this I am staying away from sweets and desserts. So today with my vegan diet fever I am sharing a simple vegetable stir fry that can go with rice and curry.
Avarakkai / Broad beans is from the beans family, they have a distinct shape ie. flat and broad. Their flavor is quite unique from that of the regular french beans. Very popular and staple in south Indian vegetarian meals. Amma always makes this vegetable to go with sambar, rasam or puli kuzhambhu.

ReplyDeletehey Priya dear....now why are u in a blue mood? :-) And for what are you dieting? But restricting non-veg to once a week is a good idea...i should try that as well. Apparently living in US gives to more access to non-veg than veg unless you really try hard to be on a veggie diet :-)
