Directions
Serve the Carrot Beans Poriyal along with Sambar and Steamed Rice for a traditional South Indian lunch. Poriyal can be packed into kids lunch box as well, along with Roti.
Wash and Clean the vegetables as shown in the picture.
Finely chop the carrot and beans. Then chop the onion, garlic and green chilies. I have used a chopper to cut the veggies. You can also cut it with knife.
Heat oil in a kadai and add mustard seeds. Once they start to splutter add urad dal, red chilies and curry leaves.
Next add the chopped onion, garlic and green chilies. Sauté them for a minute.
Once the onions turn transparent add the chopped carrot and beans into the kadai. Stir them very well for a minute. Cover and cook them for 8 - 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
When the vegetables are cooked add salt to taste. Finally add freshly grated coconut and give them a nice stir. Then switch off the flame.
The simple and humble Poriyal is ready to be served with Rice. Enjoy!!
Conclusion
Do not over cook the vegetables. The natural crunch and texture should be retained. Adding coconut is optional but the flavor is enhanced with the addition.
