Plantain & yard long beans stir fry/ vazhakka achinga mezhukkupuratti

This is a simple and easy dish to make. I used the long beans usually available in Kerala but you can  use french beans instead. Mezhukkupuratti tastes better if made with coconut oil and shallots.

Ingredients

plantain - 1 big ( or 2 small)
Yard long beans cut into 1" long pieces - 3 cup
Shallots(kunjulli) - 10
Green chilly - 6
Turmeric powder- 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1-2 sprig
Coconut oil - 2 Tbs
Salt as required

How I made it

Cut long beans into 1" long pieces
Peel plantain and cut it into 1 " long thin pieces

Cook plantain and beans with turmeric and salt with 3-4 tablespoon water with cover on. Once cooked there shouldn't be any water left. remove the cover and cook for few more minutes if there is any excess water.

Heat up  oil in another pan, put the shallots in saute it till it turns transparent, then add green chilly and curry leaves, saute for a minute or so

Add the cooked plantain and long beans to it and mix well, cook for few more minutes till its done.
