Hyacinth beans or Avaraikkai Poriyal

     Once upon a time, "Avaraikkai" was my favorite veggie. But now, will run like a child when my hubby bought this veggie. The sad reason behind that is, one fine day, NO No No, 1 sad day, my hubby went to the market to buy groceries for that week and me adviced my hubby to get extra some grams of veggie as my FIL is visiting my home. He left home with the groceries list in which i didnt mention to buy Avairaikai as we bought that last week. Once he left home, my FIL (Father-in-law) came from his home town, with half kg of Avaraikkai as they use to get all types country veggies in cheaper rate with fresh looking. I was convincing me by saying, Ok. Lets prepare this at the weekend. After 30 mins time, my hubby came with a half kg of Avaraikkai :( I was shocked and he gave the explanation as he couldnt find 1 of the veggie in the list given by me, so he bought that as an alternate. Friends, just think, for 2 members, v had 1 kg of Avaraikkai :( So, not to waste that, i prepared the veggie for 3 times in a week which made to hate this and finally emptied it. So this was that sad story :(
