Edamame/Soybeans Stir Fry

Edamame is very rarely used in Indian cooking.  I had never eaten it when I was growing up in India.  Its predominantly used in Japanese cuisine and has a reputation for being good for your health.  Here we give edamame an Indian touch by using it in a classic South Indian “usli” (stir fry).

Ingredients

  • Shelled Edamame/Soybeans - 1 lb
  • Water - 1/2 cup
  • Seasoning:-
  • Oil - 1 tsp
  • Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
  • Red chillies - 4 (or depending on your taste)
  • Asafoetida(Hing pwdr) - 1 pinch
  • Garnish:-
  • Desiccated coconut or fresh grated coconut - 1 tblsp

Instructions

1

Heat oil in a pan.  When hot, add the mustard seeds.

2

When they splutter, put in the red chillies and hing powder.

3

Add the shelled edamame and mix well.

4

Add salt to taste and 1/2 cup of water, cover, cook till done.

5

Garnish with either freshly grated coconut or desiccated coconut.

6

Serve hot with white rice and any daal of your choice or it can be eaten as a meal by itself.

Note:

You can find edamame in your local grocery store or oriental market.  Buy the shelled variety.
