Broad Beans Stir-Fry

Broad beans / avvarakkai stir-fry from my sister's kitchen:
  
  This is a quick & simple recipe that requires only 3 main ingredients... could be a side dish or an accompaniment for a vegetarian meal, ever since i tasted it from my sisters place, i loved it very much & i wanted to add it to my blog... So my loving sister took out pics when she next prepared the dish & send it to me..Thanks Reena 👍

I was not very fond of broad beans as a child & i remember dad who used to love gardening had a patch of broad beans in his factory garden. He used to take us there on Sundays & we used to love picking beans we used to lay bets on who will pluck the most broad beans as it was not easy task to differentiate the beans from the leaves & it used to be our game picking beans, as a child i hated  this vegetable but now i have acquired an appreciation for this simple vegetable ...I do hope you will give it a try 😊
