Turai Sabzi (Beerakaya Kura)


This is one of my favourite vegetables, very simple to make and the flavour is amazing when cooked with garlic. So for all the garlic lovers, this is a treat! Imagine hot rice and a side of this vegetable.. its just mouth watering !;)

Ingredients(serves 2-3):
2 long Turai peeled off and cut into small pieces (save the skins for beerakaya thokky pachadi - yummy!)
1/2 medium sized red onion chopped
5 garlic cloves peeled and chopped
2 green chilles
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
Chonk/Popu for seasoning (Mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, urad dal)

Preparation:
In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of peanut oil/vegetable oil.
Add the chonk ingredients, garlic and onions.
Stir until onions are light-brown.
Mix in the Turai, turmeric powder and cumin powder.
Stir until the turai is rid of all water and is very slightly browned.

Serve with hot rice and enjoy!
