Carrot Bean Poriyal Rice (South Indian stir fry)
So many times we go to our South Indian friends homes to casually find a couple of curries, rice, sambar and rasam. A poriyal - a South Indian vegetable stir fry - will always feature in the spread. This dish is great as a main dish - hearty, flavorful, chock full of veggies. Often the stir fry and the rice are served separately, but I like serving them together for the perfect balance of flavor to rice, especially for my friends that are not too familiar with the ideal curry to rice ratio!
