Cluster Beans / Kothavarakkai Poriyal

This was the first time I saw this vegetable in here in US. This is one of my favourite vegetable. After a long time I enjoyed this poriyal. It takes more time to chop the vegetable into very tiny pieces. Don’t cut them into 1/2 inch or 1inch bigger pieces. This poriyal is so good if you cut them into  really small pieces.

Method
