I know I enjoy making and more than that planning it well ahead to get it completed on time. Since school began for the boys, I have made it a point to ask them what they want. It's been a repeat request the entire week. I have managed to work around that. I know I ought to work on a proper menu and give them options.
One can make this parrupu Usili with different vegetables like Beans, Cluster Beans, Banana Blossoms, and Indian Broad Beans. today I will be sharing a recipe made with Broad Beans.

In my childhood, I never used to like paruppu usli and after my wedding I started liking it. I usually make it with banana blossom and beans.Never tried with avarakkai. Looks delicious. Nice clicks 🙂
