Carrot, Beans, Coconut Vepudu Recipe

Carrot, Beans, Coconut Vepudu Recipe

Indian food has so many different regional cuisines and nearly all have abundant options for every vegetable.  I usually use French beans when I make fresh corn soup for dinner. But now that it is summer, fresh corn is not available and I do not feel like drinking hot soup in this heat. I found some fresh French beans at the supermarket and bought some to make a Carrot, Beans, Coconut Vepudu Recipe; an Andhra delicacy.

Carrot-Beans-Coconut Vepudu is a South Indian style vegetable stir fry that is easy to make with few ingredients and yet healthy and flavorful. The grated coconut adds that extra punch to this colorful curry. This Carrot and Beans curry is usually a side dish along with sambar or Tomato Rasam and rice but we Punjabis eat it with roti too.

This recipe is a simple French bean and carrot stir fry garnished with grated fresh coconut.
