    Why We Love This Beans Poriyal Dish

    • Nutritious and Tasty stir-fry
    • Quick recipe in 20 minutes
    • Very flavourful
    • Light on stomach and full of nutrients
    • Perfect summer dish

    What Is Poriyal?

    Poriyal is South Indian stir fry preparation with vegetables. Chopped veggies are sautéed with curry leaves and spices and freshly grated coconut is added in the end. This same dish with the same technique is known as palya in Karnataka and thoran in Kerala.

    In any case, it makes a great bean side dish with Rice and curry or with chapati and paratha for breakfast. Poriyal can be made with vegetables like cabbage, capsicum, carrot, beetroot, boiled potato etc.

    Ingredients for Beans Poriyal

    Green Beans: Usually French beans are used for making beans poriyal. But If you want you can make it with baby beans, Chinese long beans. Make sure to check the cooking time of these beans and cook a few minutes extra or less as per the time. 

    Spices & Seasonings: Mustard seeds, Cumin, Asafoetida, skinned Urad dal, Salt to taste, dried red chillies. 

    Fresh Ingredients: Green chillies, curry leaves, fresh coconut

    Fats: Vegetable oil or coconut oil. I prefer coconut oil as it packs great flavour and is quite healthy. 

    How To Make Poriyal?

    You can make beans poriyal in an Instant pot or stovetop. I am sharing both methods with you here.

    Beans Poriyal Recipe

    Start with washing the beans. First, pat them dry and then chop them. Chopping may take some time but if you have a food processor it hardly takes 30 seconds. Just add whole beans to the processor and pulse it 4-5 times. That’s all it takes.

    Now heat oil in the pan and add asafoetida. Also add mustard seeds, when mustard seeds splutter add cumin seeds and skinned urad dal. 

    Allow them to cook for 1 minute on medium heat and add chopped green chillies, curry leaves and whole red chillies. 

    Fry them for a few seconds and add chopped green beans. 

    Cook on medium heat for 4-8 minutes depending upon how thin or thick you have chopped beans. I cut them thin so I cook for 5 minutes. 

    Next, add salt to taste and mix.

    Add freshly grated coconut, mix and enjoy delicious and healthy beans poriyal.

    Recipe Notes: My Tried and True Tips

    • French beans are also known as string beans. 
    • If you are using any other green bean take care of cooking time and cook accordingly.
    • You can make poriyal with any other finely chopped veggies like carrots or capsicum.
    • Small size young and tender green beans are best for making beans poriyal because these cook faster and taste better. 

    What to Serve Poriyal With

    You can serve beans poriyal with Roti, chapati or paratha or as a side dish with Steamed Rice & Sambar for rice and curry. Any South Indian Style rice dish Lemon Rice Sambar Sadam also pairs well with this Beans Palya. 

    You can even pile it over toasted bread along with some cheese and enjoy it as a breakfast.

    Equipment

    • WOK

    Ingredients

    • 300 gm Green Beans
    • 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
    • ½ teaspoon Cumin seeds
    • ⅕ teaspoon Asafoetida
    • 1 teaspoon Urad dal
    • Salt to taste
    • 1 dried red chilli.
    • 2 green chillies
    • 10 curry leaves
    • 2 tablespoons fresh coconut
    • 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil

    Instructions

    Beans Poriyal Stovetop Method

    • Start with washing the beans. First, pat them dry and then chop them. Chopping may take some time but if you have a food processor it hardly takes 30 seconds. Just add whole beans to the processor and pulse it 4-5 times. That’s all it takes.
    • Now heat oil in the pan and add asafoetida. Also add mustard seeds, when mustard seeds splutter add cumin seeds and skinned urad dal.
    • Allow them to cook for 1 minute on medium heat and add chopped green chillies, curry leaves and whole red chillies.
    • Fry them for a few seconds and add chopped green beans.
    • Cook on medium heat for 4-8 minutes depending upon how thin or thick you have chopped beans. I cut them thin so I cook for 5 minutes.
    • Next, add salt to taste and mix.
    • Add freshly grated coconut, mix and enjoy delicious and healthy beans poriyal.

    Beans Poriyal Instant Pot

    • Although a quick stir fry recipe that I prefer to cook on the stovetop. You can make these green beans poriyal or palya in the instant pot as well.
    • Start with washing the beans. First, pat them dry after washing and then chop them.
    • Start the instant pot on the saute mode and add coconut oil.
    • Now add mustard seeds, when mustard seeds start to splutter add cumin seeds and skinned urad dal.
    • Next add in chopped green chillies, curry leaves and whole red chillies.
    • Fry them for a few seconds and add chopped green beans.
    • Now place the lid on the instant pot and set the timer for 0 minutes on pressure cooker mode. When you set pressure cooker mode on an instant pot it takes time to build the pressure and that much time is sufficient to cook green beans.
    • Open the lid after releasing pressure and add salt and coconut to the beans.
    • Mix everything and serve the poriyal.
