4. Saute until the onions turn translucent.

5. Add the chopped avarakkai and salt. Saute for a minute then add the turmeric powder and cumin powder. 

6. Mix well and add the water. Cover and cook for atleast 10 minutes until the avarakkai is completely cooked and all the water is gone.

7. Now add the grated coconut, mix in and switch off.

Notes
