Mezhukkupuratti is a style of preparation of vegetarian dishes in Kerala, especially in Central Travancore. The veggie is blanched and blended with onion – garlic paste with added chilli for spiciness (Source: Wiki). I have tasted this beans Mezhukkupuratti recipe in Onam Sadhya feast in restaurants but this is the first time, I am preparing in my home for blogging sake. This Kerala style beans stir fry is a simple recipe with just few ingredients, but it has an tongue smacking taste. We had it with Kerala Style Parippu Curry and felt like that Onam festival has come in advance in our home.
