This fragrant Poriyal goes well with both rice and Chapati. The Sambhar powder added to it makes it extremely flavourful. The South Indians like to garnish it with grated coconut, but you may skip it . Tastes just as good. I thank my friend Sara Iyer for having shared this recipe with me. Recipe link to the Sambhar powder is given below.
