Simple, fast and yummy. Vegetable curry, or poriyal as we call it in Tamil, is a great side dish for rice or chapathi. Tonight, we had poriyal made with chayote as a side dish for rice and sambar. We will have to go over sambar another day.
Ingredients:
2 chayote chopped into 1cm cubes - be sure to cut out the seed and white part surrounding it inside
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon black split gram
1 dried red chilli
1 tablespoon grated coconut (fresh or frozen but NOT dessicated)
Salt to taste
We used chayote. The vegetable that kind of looks like a bum.
1) Add one tablespoon of oil (corn or vegetable) into a wok or pan
2) Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds
4) After those seeds start popping, the black split gram aka ullathum parruppu which is actually white in color. Also add one dried red chilli.
5) Add the chopped chayote and after 5 minutes of cooking, add a tablespoon of grated coconut if you have it.
6) Cover the veg and let it cook. Chayote is watery so it will cook fast.
7) Add salt to taste
And there you have it folks! You can do the same recipe with chopped up beans, finely chopped cabbage and also beet root. For beet root, don't add the coconut.
Stay tuned for a thanksgiving spread without the turkey! And remember...
