Sowmya,
What is averakai ? It doesn't sound familiar to me. Any English or hindi translation ?
Let me know.

avarekai dishes are karnataka delicacies.
In US u will find them in the frozen vegetable section known as Surti Papdi lilva.

sorry to interrupt, Sowmya. Avaraekai is broad beans in English and for kothavarangai, we call cluster beans.

And napolims, I dont know which part of US you live in. But, here in NJ, both broad beans and cluster beans(fresher ones) are available in Indian stores, FYI.

Avarekkai to the best of my knowledge is VAL in Gujarati,what Tamils know as Mochhukottai.In Telugu it is PEDDA CHIKKADU for Broad Beans and in Gujarati it is Moti Papadi Val.
Just Lilva is small Val/Mocchukottai/Avarekkai.

Avarekkai as Napolism said is Karnataka speciality.
But I prepare Broad Beans curry as prepared by Late Suryakantham garu the greatest Telugu actress/Mother/Motherinlaw.
If any one is interested, I can post the recipe privately.

Pls, sowmya..dont be sorry. It is just that you as well as me and everyone should be getting the right recipe with the right vegetable. Unusual vegetables like this and many are there, I too use to get confused .

BTW, the one you had at yr friend's place-is there any dhal or just powder?

Thanks for understanding and bye.
