Avarakkai poriyal is a simple broad beans fry with tomatoes. This is a South Indian style broad beans poriyal or side dish.
In this recipe I have used tomatoes and there is no coconut added. I usually make it for lunch as an accompaniment to rice and sambar or rasam.
This avarakkai poriyal goes well as a side dish for rice and can even be had with rotis / chapatis.
