Clean and cut the Amarakka into small pieces and keep it aside.
Peel shallots/onion and cut them into medium sized pieces. Clean and cut the green chilli also(preferably in vertical) and keep them separately.
Heat oil in a cheenachatti/frying pan and add shallots/onion pieces, green chilli pieces and curry leaves into this hot oil and stir it well.
When colour of this mix turns into golden/brown, add Amarakka pieces and required quantity of Salt and Red Chilli powder and stir it well. Cover the frying Pan with a plate/cover and cook the mix properly in low flame without adding water.
After about 10 – 15 minutes, check whether the mix is cooked properly and then add grated coconut into this mix. Amarkka/Broad Beans Upperi is ready.
