Agathipoo paruppu kulambu | sesbania flower dal
Am always attracted to this new ingredient testing. When i go to supermarket, I always pick the seasonal ingredients and test with them. Agathi poo or the sesbania flowers are not easily available everywhere but if you find it then surely try this recipe. Not only that it is tasty but also healthy.
some of the other sesbania recipes south indian style:
- Agathipoo Muttai Porial ~ Sesbania flower and scrambled egg stir fy
- Agathi Poo Poriyal / Hummingbird Flower Stir Fry
- Agathi Poo kadala porial ~ Agathipoo Porial
