Beans Poriyal

Sometimes Simple food is at its best. We often enjoy simple Poriyal’s at home that is seasoned well with simple spices. This delicious Beans Poriyal is often served with Sambar or Rasam and Rice at home. But you may enjoy them as a side dish for Chapathi’s too.

So,

what is Poriyal?

Poriyal is a SouthIndian style Stir Fry dish where the Vegetables are added to the seasoning, stir fried and then topped with grated coconut { as much as you like }. Poriyal is also known as Podtuval in Palakkad slang or even Curry in Tamil Nadu..
This poriyal can be made with other vegetables like Cabbage Poriyal, Beetroot Poriyal, Pumpkin Poriyal, Mixed Vegetable, Carrots and what not.

HOW TO CUT FRENCH BEANS FOR PORIYAL ?

Recently when I was watching Jamie Oliver’s 15 Minutes programme, I  actually learnt to chop the beans with ease. I  buy either 250g or 400g packets of Beans. So the easiest way to trim the edges, is to hold the packet tight and trim the edges with plastic. By this you will have the trimmed edges gone with the plastic. How easy does it sound.

Once you cut the beans into small pieces, the rest of steps are really quick and easy for Beans Thoran ( Kerala style Beans stir fry).
