Stir Fried Long Beans ( Payar Mezhukkuperatti)

Overview
Different varieties of Long beans are found in Kerala and so a variety of dishes are made with this. My favorite recipe is this simple stir fried long beans dish which is so simple yet delicious. Today one of my friends gave me a big bunch of long bean grown in her garden so had to make this dish immediately. This dish goes well with rice or chapati and can served as a side dish for any meat.
