MIXED VEGETABLE PORIYAL

Mixed vegetable poriyal is a simple, yet delicious recipe made with a variety of vegetables. It is an easy to make recipe with very few ingredients. This recipe is non-spicy and has a mild flavour to it. Also, it doesn’t involve any kind of spices added to it.

Mixed vegetable poriyal is commonly served as a side dish for rice. It goes really well with SAMBAR and KULAMBU rice. Each vegetable added in this recipe has a diverse profile of nutrients. Also, it is a great source of fibre which helps in digestion.

ABOUT THE RECIPE:

This recipe is usually made with at least 3 vegetables. I’ve added cabbage, carrot, beans and green peas in this recipe. Vegetables like potato and capsicum can also be added. Also, I’ve used fresh grated coconut for this recipe, which is completely optional. Coconut is added to enhance the flavour of this recipe. This recipe tastes good even without the coconut.

Frozen grated coconut can be substituted with fresh grated coconut. Do not use dried desiccated coconut. Dried desiccated coconut has a coconut oil flavour to it which can spoil the taste of the recipe.

INGREDIENTS FOR MIXED VEGETABLE PORIYAL:

• CABBAGE (CHOPPED) – 2 CUPS
• CARROT (CHOPPED) – 1 CUP
• BEANS (CHOPPED) – 1 CUP
• GREEN PEAS – 1 CUP
• GREEN CHILLIES – 2 NOS
• GRATED COCONUT – 1/2 CUP
• MUSTARD SEEDS – 1/2 TSP
• URID DHAL – 1/2 TSP
• SALT – AS REQUIRED
• OIL – 1 TSP

HOW TO MAKE MIXED VEGETABLE PORIYAL:

• Heat a kadai, and add 1 tsp of oil to it.

• Once the oil is heated, add 1/2 tsp of mustard seeds and 1/2 tsp of urid dhal to it.

• Once the mustard seeds start to splatter, add the cabbage, carrot, beans, green peas and green chillies to it.

• Add 1 cup of water and the required amount of salt to it. 1 cup of water is more than enough for this recipe. Adding too much of water might make the vegetables turn mushy.

• Mix it well. Let it cook on medium-high flame until all the water dries out. The vegetables will shrink while they cook.

• Once all the water gets evaporated, add 1/2 cup of grated coconut to it.

• Mix it well and turn off the flame.

YUMMY AND DELICIOUS MIXED VEGETABLE PORIYAL IS READY.

SERVE IT WITH YOUR FAVOURITE RICE.

I HAD IT WITH HOT STEAMED RICE AND PARUPPU URUNDAI KULAMBU.

VARIATIONS:

• Vegetables like capsicum and potatoes can also be added to this recipe.

• Frozen grated coconut can be substituted with fresh grated coconut.
