Yard long Beans stir fry with coconut / Barbati kobari koora

If you live in New England, you know what kind of veggies we get here during the winter or for that matter all year round! Same old veggies and nothing new :)

Yard long beans are one which we can see almost all the time in the Indian grocery store.

I am not complaining cos I happen to like this vegetable or this type of beans better than the other beans...but I think I like 'Goruchikkudu' more and my hubby like Broad beans more...

Yard long beans are good to use in any Indo-chinese dishes too beacause of this thin structure.

I like them cut up tiny and stir fried plain or with coconut. But cutting them small or tiny is the better part, cos they tend to become kind of crispy when cooked.

This is a simple stir fry made with coconut and goes good with rice or chapathis / rotis.

Doesn't take much time to make, only time taken is cutting the barbati up!!
