Carrot Beans porial

I like this porial only if the carrot and beans and chopped finely. Carrot is good source of vitamin and beans contain fiber. So try to include these 2 vegetables in your diet.

Let us see how to prepare this colorful porial.

Channa dal – 1 tsp

Mustard seeds – 1 tsp

Oil – 1 tbsp

Green Chili – 2 Nos

Cumin seeds/Jeera – 1 tsp

Garlic – 2 cloves

Grated coconut – 2 tbsp

Method:

Wash carrots and peel off the skin. Wash the beans and cut the edges.

Chop both the vegetables finely.

Take the chopped vegetables in a pan and add 1/4 cup of water. 

Cook for 5 mins. Stir occasionally. Once vegetables are cooked switch off the flame.

Finely chop the onion and green chilies.

Heat oil in a pan, add in mustard seed. When it splutters, throw in urad dal, channa dal and wait for few seconds till the dal changes to golden.

Add garlic with skin and saute for 5 seconds (optional).

Add chopped onion, green chilies, Jeera and curry leaves.

Saute it for 2 mins. Once the onion becomes translucent add 1 tsp of chili powder and turmeric.

Add the cooked vegetables and mix well.

Colorful porial is ready. Have it with any sambar.
