This is in variation to the Chitranna that I have already mentioned here. Avarekai, is known as ‘Flat Beans’ in English are very famous in Karnataka. Avarekai is available in Indian stores here in the US under the name ‘Surti Papdi Lilva’, usually in the frozen section. A beautiful (picture) of this beans is here.   My MIL also makes another variation of Chitranna by adding grated raw mango and Avarekai to the Rice.  The tanginess for this rice comes from the raw mango and there is no need to add lemon juice to this. I had taken this picture…
