Clean and cut the Kothamarakka (Cluster Beans) into medium sized and keep aside.

Take about 1-2 cups of normal water in a cooking vessel. Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder and required quantity of salt and stir it well.

Change the Kothamarakka pieces into this water and stir it well.

Cover the cooking vessel with a plate and cook the Kothamarakka pieces properly in medium flame.

After about 15 minutes, remove the plate, stir the mix further and allow to dry the water in low flame.

After drying the water, change the cooked/boiled Kotthamarakka pieces into a clean cloth/sheet and dry it further in sunshine (it may take 2 - 3 days to get the pieces dried properly).

After the Kothamarakka pieces are dried well and properly, store the kondaattams in an air tight container. Kothamarakka Kondaattam is ready.

Whenever it is required, heat oil in a cheenachatti/frying pan, take required quantity of Kondaattam and fry them in the hot oil.

When the Kondaattam is fried properly, take them out from the cheenachatti/frying pan and serve the hot Kondaattams as side dish for lunch/dinner.
