CARROT , BEANS PORIYAL / STIR FRY

Hi All,

CARROT BEANS PORIYAL!! This is the first poriyal / stir fry recipe in my blog.I never thought of posting stir fry recipes in my blog as I feel everyone knows it until when my neighbours asked me how I make poriyal without mushy , retaining the bright colours of vegs.
Then I decided to post my poriyal recipes too.So here comes my first poriyal recipe Carrot , Beans poriyal.
This poriyal is like template , you can add any number of Vegs in this poriyal ..like cabbage , potato.
The recipe is so simple that every south Indian family knows it very well...still this post may help beginners.

The recipe is as below,

INGREDIENTS :
Carrot – 1 cup ( chopped).
Beans – 1 cup (chopped).
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp.
Chilli powder – 1 1/2 tsp.
Salt – as required.
Onions – 1 no ( big – medium sized).
Coconut – 1/8 cup ( grated).
Curry leaves – a sprig.
Channa dal – 1/2 tsp.
Urad dal – 1/2 tsp.
Mustard – 1/4 tsp.
Oil – 1 tsp.


METHOD :
  1. Wash and chop carrot and beans to small pieces.Chop onions to small bits.
  2. In a wide pan boil 1/4 cup water , when water comes to boiling point add the chopped vegs,salt,chilli powder,turmeric powder , close the pan and cook for 10 mins till the vegs cook soft.

  3. In the mean time heat oil in a small pan , add mustard , channa dal , urad dal , curry leaves,onions and fry till onions turns translucent.Finally add coconut and mix for 30 seconds , switch off the flame.

  4. Add the fried ingredients to boiled vegs and give a 2 minute mix . Remove from flame and serve hot with hot rice.


NOTES :
  1. Always add vegs only in boiling water , this will reduce the boiling time and also fuel consumption.
  2. If you are packing the poriyal for lunch ,you need to fry coconut slightly (as raw coconut will start spoiling after 4 hours of cooking ) so fry them along with onions . Else if for immediate consumption you can add coconut at final stage without frying.

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible.
