BEANS EGG PORIYAL
BEANS EGG PORIYAL
This is a diversion from the usual beans poriyal. Initially, I tried it with only onions and beans. Later I used tomatoes for this, which was very good, so I started using the onion-tomato combination for this poriyal with eggs. Here goes the recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
Green beans, ¼ lbs.
Onion, small, 1.
Tomato, small, ½.
Ginger-garlic paste.
Eggs, 1-2.
Chili powder, 1 teaspoon.
Salt, as per taste.
Mustard seeds and urad dhal for seasoning.
PREPARATION:
Chop the beans into small pieces as well as the onion and tomato. Heat a kadai with oil and when it is heated, add some mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds splutters, add a small amount (may be ¼ teaspoon) of urad dhal. When the urad dhal turns brown, add the chopped onion and sauté for a minute. Then add the tomatoes and ginger-garlic paste and sauté everything well till the onion and tomato are well blended. Add the beans and sauté for a minute and later add a teaspoon of chili powder and salt. Now add around ½ cup of water and cook them closed for 5-10 minutes until the beans are well cooked. When the beans are well cooked and dry, break 2 eggs over the beans and scramble the eggs well with the beans. Turn off the stove when the eggs are adequately cooked. Some black pepper may also be added at the end with the eggs. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve.

Arai Kerrai Poriyal greens curry
All of us are in the look out for good keerai recipes to impress our children as we find it difficult to give them. We all know its nutritional value and its importance in our menu. If this poriyal is prepared with care,I fee it can be given to children without much difficulty. we have to be changing the recipes often so that they don’t feel that they are being given the greens often. I find it difficult with my elder one in giving her keerai even now. It is time that she should have started giving it to her son.
The same poriyal can be prepared with other keerai like mulai keerai sirukeerai etc.Try out with the greens you get in your region and update.
Ingredients
Keerai- 1 bunch (cleaned,cut and washed) -4 cups
Chopped onion-1/4 cup
Red chilies-4
Grated coconut-2 tablespoons
To season
Mustard seed-1 teaspoon
Kadalai paruppu-2 tablespoons (optional)
Procedure
Keep the kadai in the stove.Season the poriyal with the items given in to season. Add red chilies and then onion.now add the greens and stir. In a few minutes it will become small in quantity. There will be water in itself enough for cooking else sprinkle some water.Make the flame low.Close the kadai.Check after 5 minutes. Add the salt needed. Once you feel the green is cooked and the water content has gone add the grated coconut and switch off the stove.Serve hot to children .This can mixed with rice along with little ghee and fed to small ones.
