#CA2025 This recipe is inspired by the simple yet soulful meals I grew up eating at home.My grandmother always believed in cooking with love, using seasonal vegetables and minimal ingredients.
This no onion no garlic version is ideal for fasts, festive thalis or temple style offerings.
What makes this poriyal special is the gentle tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves, the freshness of grated coconut and the natural crunch of beans.Its light sattvik and pairs beautifully with hot rice and ghee or curd rice.

Namaste! I am a passionate home cook from India who loves exploring the beauty of traditional vegetarian recipes- especially those inspired by temple kitchens, festivals and everyday sattvik meals.Through my cooking, I try to blend taste with simplicity, usually with locally available ingredients and avoiding onion and garlic in many of my dishes.I m on a journey to rediscover forgotten recipes, offer them with love to the divine and share them with others through my kitchen tales.Welcome to my space. Lets cook with heart and soul.
