This recipe is one of my latest experiments using Hyacinth beans. I had heard that Avarekalu (Hyacinth Beans) Sambar will be very tasty, but never had a chance to taste it anytime! While checking avarakalu recipes, found this Sambar recipe in an old Kannada magazine. I had frozen avarekalu with me and tried this Sambar the same day! We tried it with both rice and roti, it tasted awesome. The next time I get avarekalu, I am going to prepare this yummy curry again :)
Here is the recipe of Avarekalu Sambar for you. It goes well with rice, roti as well as chapathi.
