In Telugu states we call broad beans as Chikkudu kayalu. Chikkudu Kayala vepudu is a simple stir fry where onion, ginger and garlic are sauteed with the broad beans and masalas like coriander powder, cumin powder and chili powder are added for the spice. Tomato gives the much needed moisture for the sabzi and is finsihed off with lots of coriander leaves.

When picking the broad beans try to find the ones which are little tender. Matured beans generally have a string on the side which needs to be removed before cooking them.

Ingredients needed to make Broad Beans Curry –

  • Broad beans, pick the beans which are tender
  • Onion, tomato
  • Ginger & garlic
  • Spices like coriander powder, cumin powder and red chili powder
  • Green Peas or cooked black chana
  • lemon juice
  • salt and oil
  • Tempering ingredients ( mustard seeds, chana dal, urad dal, cumin seeds and curry leaves)
