Avarekalu(Cow pea/field beans/Lilva beans in English,Mochai in Tamil) season is around in many parts of Karnataka.In Bangalore,every year during december-Janurary Avarekalu Mela is conducted in Food street,V V puram.Recently when i met my
School moms friends,Tara was telling me about the varieties of avarekalu dishes she tasted in Avarekalu Mela.I got tempted to try some recipes with it and post here.Last year during this time,i shared
Hitkidabele Avarekalu saaru and
Avarekalu Pulao recipes.So this year i tried a yummy Avarekalu Huli recipe and Avarekalu dry palya for rice by getting the recipes from my friend Megha.She shared her mom’s recipe which was very different from the ones i saw in various blogs.So i tried it & came out really well.We loved this gravy with rice.It was tasting more like
Arachuvitta Vathakuzhambu.I used less oil than what Megha suggested.Still it was very tasty.Ok,Lets see how to prepare Karnataka style Avarekalu Huli.
