“Porial is a style of preparing different vegetables. The most common one is beans, a popular dish from the south of India, but replacing the beans with cabbage or sliced potatoes also works well. Light and easy, I use beans porial as an accompaniment for pepper chicken chettinad.” This recipe is from the book by Anil Ashokan (Allen & Unwin, $39.95 pbk).
