There are two varieties of avarakkai - broad & narrow beans. It will taste crunchy which is rich in fiber.I made this simple Avarakkai poriyal for our lunch today to go with Rice. Coconut and fennel adds flavor to the beans and this spicy poriyal. It  can be had with Rotis too. The only difficult part is the stringing, cleaning and cutting of the beans
