Poriyal is a traditional, popular side dish made by stir frying veggies with dal, onions, spices & curry leaves. Poriyal is a healthy, mild & comforting side with rice and could be done easily & quickly. Poriyal Recipe with carrot & beans is presented in this post with step by step pictures.
I always prefer individual veggie poriyal than the combination, but sometimes when I have only little of both the vegetables then I go in for such combination poriyal recipes. But I love this carrot beans with dal combo, this is one the easy and quick stir fries you can make to pair it up with sambar / any kuzhambu varieties and rice.I served it with rice and yellow pumpkin sambar.You can check simple carrot stir fry too that I posted long back.And the cup I have used in these pics is a set of 4 measuring cups that my friend gifted me, I am writing this as many of you asked about it seeing the stepwise pictures last time I posted a recipe.
I am quite exhausted after mittus birthday celebrations and ofcourse content and happy too seeing the smile on her face.Thank you all for the birthday wishes…Everything went on good but I am too tired to write more now so hang on till I am back next week with the story. Now check the easy carrot beans poriyal recipe.

- Amma always adds coconut only after switching off any poriyal as raw coconut is not much of cholesterol she says so using it as raw as much as possible is good.But if you are packing it then it is a must to saute the coconut for 2mins so that it doesnt get spiled easily.
