  1. What I like about poriyals is that they are so easy to prepare and not at all time consuming.Just a basic tempering and adding grated coconut imparts a good flavour to the dish.They work very well as a side dish.Loved this version also.4 stars

    1. yes agree on this winnie. they are easy to make. in fact, desiccated coconut flakes can also be added if fresh coconut is not available. thanks again for the feedback and rating.

  2. I had this at a restaurant recently for the first time and loved it. This recipe was excellent. I also made the tamarind rice and that was very tasty. Thanks for the content of your website. The recipes are great, the instruction helpful and the pictures beautiful. Well done.5 stars

  6. Hi Dassana & Amit,

    I discovered your blog yesterday when I was searching for a boiled peas recipe from my childhood using dried green peas. Found something close to it on your blog. I love Indian food, particularly recipes from South India. This bean recipe reminds me of an okra version which I enjoyed growing up in Fiji. My mums Indian friends used to make roti parcels of it. If I try and make it with okra would i need to dry the okra out first as it tends to be quite slimey? That’s assuming I can find okra in Sweden. Haven’t been able to find freshly grated coconut here, i guess dessicated coconut will suffice?

    I’m looking forward to trying many of your recipes!

    1. thanks dawn. i make okra poriyal too and i will be adding the recipe in some time. you have to cook the okra first. i temper with sesame oil, mustard seeds, urad dal (split & husked black gram), red chilies or green chilies, curry leaves, turmeric and asafoetida. then add chopped okra. the okra has to be sliced in 1/4 inch roundels. add salt and stir. cook the okra uncovered, till the okra is done. stir at intervals to ensure that the okra slices do not get browned. lastly add coconut and stir. you can use desiccated coconut instead of fresh coconut.

  7. Hii! Just tried your recipe. Turned out awesome! I was missing my hostel days and south food and you helped me satisfy that craving. It’s same what I use to have in south. God bless you always. Thanx a ton:)

  10. I love French beans – thinner and my kids prefer this kind over regular green beans. I enjoyed learning new way to cook these, Dasana! You know how to use spices to make delicious food, which I need to work on. 🙂 Thank you for sharing!5 stars
