Note

  • You can follow the same procedure & make carrot & cabbage poriyal too.
  • Here i used coconut oil while tempering which renders an additional flavour to this poriyal.Its optional though
  • U can also garnish with coriander leaves in the end if u are not using grated coconut.
  • Add few drops of lemon juice at the end if u need mild tangy taste, else skip it.

You can have this poriyal mixed with plain rice adding a tsp of gingely oil OR as a side dish for sambar,rasam etc.Tastes yum!
