Avarekayi, also known as Avarekalu or hyacinth beans, is a much-loved seasonal ingredient in Karnataka, especially in Bangalore. These flavorful beans arrive during winter, making it the perfect time to enjoy a variety of Avarekayi delicacies. Bangalore even celebrates this seasonal favorite with the popular Avarekayi Mela!
