Long Beans Stir Fry/ Payaru Poriyal/ Payar Mezhukkupuratti

An easy to make veggie stir fry, South Indian side dish…
One of the side dishes that’s commonly served with South Indian lunch is a vegetarian stir fry in which any kind of veggies can be added. It can be either thoran or mezhukkupuratti. Only one kind of veggie is added or a combination of veggies are added. Thoran and mezhukkupuratti belong to the same category with slight variations. Usually, while making thoran grated coconut which is ground along with some seasonings is added to the veggies. While in mezhukkupuratti grated coconut is directly added to the veggies and is stir fried.
Veggies like carrot, beans, beet root, cauliflower, cabbage can be used for making mezhukkupuratti. However, I like long beans mezhukkupuratti better than any other veggies. So, whenever I buy long beans, I make this stir fry. This goes well as a side dish along with rice or chapati.
