Surti lilva or Avarekayi pairs well with many dishes.Frozen lilva beans are available in Indian stores.I have combined these beans with cabbage and tomato.This dish goes well with chapatis.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Cabbage chopped
1/2 Cup Surti lilva (avarekayi)
1 Tomato
1/2 Onion (finely chopped)
4 Green chillies
1/2 Tsp mustard seeds
1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds(Jeera)
1/2 Tsp Turmeric
Salt as per taste
2 Tbsp Oil
A pinch of asefoetida
Method:
Pressure cook the lilva beans for about 2 whistles. Heat oil in a kadai.Add the cumin and mustard seeds and wait for it to splutter.Add the asefoetida and onion and saute for a minute.Add the green chillies, cabbage, tomato, salt, turmeric and allow it to cook until tender without adding any water.After about 15 minutes when the cabbage is tender add the lilva beans and saute it for about 2-3 minutes.Serve it hot with chapatis.
