Beans Mezhukkupuratti Recipe

Beans Mezhukkupuratti is one of menu items in onam sadya.I got the recipe from my friend Keerthi and I tried it last week served it with with paruppu curry, olan and rice and it was a mini sadya for us 🙂 Mezhupuratti is a kerala style simple stir fry where the vegetables are blanched and then blended with onion garlic paste seasoned with coconut oil.’Mezhukku’ means ‘oil’ in Malayalam & ‘Puratti’ means ‘smear’ so that explains it all.

Mezhukkupuratti can be made with many vegetables but the popular ones being Beans, Kaya(Raw Banana),Chena(Elephant Yam),Carrot,Achinga Payar(Long Beans)  etc.

My Notes:

  • Dont add more water while cooking beans, Cook covered till the water is completely absorbed by the veggie.
  • I made with french beans, you can use long beans too.
  • Remove the fiber part before chopping the beans.
  • Tempering with coconut oil is must for this recipe.
  • Add cooked beans only the masalas raw smell completely leaves.
  • Dont cook for more time after beans is added just toss around.
  • The final dish should be moist and should have a glossy finish, it should not be dry.
