Chikudukaya Curry:
Chikudukaya kura. Avarikai Curry. Pattai Avarai kai Vadhakkal. Indian Broad Beans Salan. Snow Peas Curry.
Today’s recipe is one kind of curry that I used to whip in no time. I used to make this kind of quick fix subzi and curry back then…when I didn’t own a mixie(blender)!! Now, with so many modern gadgets aroud, I hardly feel like using them! While studying, I really managed with only basics…two pans, two spatula, one knife, one plate…hehe. Trust me, with 2 or 3 basic ingredients, it used to taste divine.:) And I happen to be pretty fast(wonder where it went now)!! There were days, when I get up early in the morning to study, tidy-up the room and also fix something like’ one pot masala rice and get ready for the exam!!! My roomies used to pull my legs, saying…Even though we mess up in the paper, we never messed up a meal, haha:):)
Ingredients:
Indian Broad beans 250 grams
Onion 1 large finely chopped
Garlic 1 minced
Ginger 1″ grated
Tomatoes 2 small – crushed
Salt
Turmeric 1/4 spoon
Chili powder 1/2 spoon
Curry leaves – a spring
Oil few spoons.
Method:
In a wide wok, heat oil. Add ginger-garlic, onion and followed by tomatoes. Now also add all the powdered spices.
Finally add the vegetable, cover and cook over medium heat. Once it is tender, remove from heat. Serve as a side dish for chappathis or rotis.
