Achinga Payar Kaya Mezhukkupuratti Mezhukkupuratti is quick and easy vegetable stir fry. In Kerala homes, stir-fries are made almost every day with seasonal vegetables. The term itself means stir-fried or coated with oil. If you want the authentic taste of mezhukkupuratti use coconut oil. It imparts a nice aroma to this dish. Stir-fries can be made with one or more vegetables and is a tasty and healthy side dish with rice. Achinga payar or yard long beans and plantain are both common vegetables in every household in Kerala. Both these vegetables are healthy and low calorie.Yard long beans are rich in iron, vitamins folate, and magnesium. Plantains are a staple food in Kerala cuisine and are rich in vitamins and a good source of dietary fiber. I make this combo often and it tastes delicious. Achinda payar tastes best when it is young and slender. Fresh yard long beans will be tender and crisp and can be broken with your hands. This mezhukkupuratti is my favorite Sadhya recipe...
