Edamame upperi

Thursday, May 19, 2011

Edamame or soy beans is a good source of protein, heart healthy and high in fiber. While it is not common in Indian cooking, we use it in our house regularly. Usually, I just boil it and add salt. Our whole family, including the kids, likes it this way. I wanted to see if I can do something else.

If you don't get the shelled soy-beans, you can buy the ones in the shell. Just cook it according to the directions on the package and then shell it.

Difficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 5 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Makes: 4-5 servings

Ingredients:


Edamame: 3 cups(about 12 oz or 400 gms)
Oil: 1 tbsp
Chilli powder: 1 tsp
Turmeric powder: 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste

Boil water and add some salt.  Add the soy beans and cook for about 5-6 min.

In the meantime, thinly slice onion. Heat oil in a skillet and saute the onion until light brown. Add the spices and saute until the raw taste has gone. Add the cooked edamame and mix well. Simmer on a very low flame for 2 min.

Serve warm with rice or chapathi.
