    What is Poriyal

    Poriyal is a simple dry side dish. It usually has any vegetable and grated coconut is added as a garnish. In Karnataka, they refer to it as Palya and it is Stir Fry in English. We can use any vegetable to prepare the Stir Fry.

    Beans Poriyal

    There are times when we just add grated coconut. In that case, we add two green chilies while cooking the beans. Again the masala paste and the ingredients added varies in different regions.

    Serving Suggestions:

    ✔ Goes well with Sambar , Rice and Appalam

    ✔ Can also be served with Rasam.

    2) Next add in the chopped onions and saute till glossy.

    3) Next add in the chopped ¼ kg of Beans. Saute for a min

    4) Add in the required salt and ½ cup of water. Combine everything and then cover and cook the beans for 5 mins.

    5) Meanwhile let's prepare the coconut paste. In a blender add in ¼ cup of grated coconut, ¼ tsp of Turmeric powder, 4 garlic pods, 3 shallots. ¼ tsp of cumin seeds and 3 dry red chilies. Adjust the chillis added as per your spice levels.

    6) Now grind it to a coarse paste and keep it ready

    7) Beans will be now half cooked. Keep cooking with the lid open.

    8) When the beans are almost cooked add in the ground coconut masala.

    9. Mix well and cook for another 2 mins and then switch off the flame. Serve hot with Rice.
