Carrot Poriyal - Cuisine from Tamil Nadu


           Carrot Poriyal is a simple stir fry dish, a South Indian preparation, very popular in Tamil Nadu. It is a healthy and a nutritious side dish that does not take much time to prepare. It is almost similar to Carrot Thoran, another kerala speciality. Onions may be added if preferred. It can be relished as a side dish with either rice or chapattis. It goes very well with curd-rice or sambar-rice. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.
