This is another wow dish learnt from my sister in law. Its Nagercoil special.It is delicious South Indian dish that hails from the state of Tamil Nadu. Poriyal is a traditional Tamil term used for dry vegetable stir fries that are seasoned with spices and grated coconut. This curry goes well with grated coconut gravy/ thengai araitha kulambu , Paruppu Kolambu and so on. The speciality of this dish is we use coconut oil for preparing it. The aroma was great when I tasted it. So I thought could share it with you. This poriyal is one of the tastiest dish. This recipe is very easy  and simple one to make. It is also a popular accompaniment to the main course and is often served with rice and other dishes like sambar or rasam. Lets start the preparation.
