    Poriyal, a South-Indian Stir-fry

    Poriyal, tamil name given to dry curries made with vegetables. It is a simple stir-fry of any vegetable with chilies, finished with coconut. They can be called cooked salads and can be enjoyed as such without any main.

    Poriyals are easy side dishes made everyday in south-indian household. It is our way of including more vegetables into our diet. For example this Kadamba poriyal, a quick stir-fry of mixed vegetables.

    I love to cook greens for poriyal. The easiest way to cook them is to make stir-fry, that gets done in minutes. Like this simple Keerai Poriyal made with amaranth leaves or this Drumstick leaves poriyal . Vegetables like carrot, cabbage and cauliflower too takes just minutes to cook and tastes fresh and delish with a simple tempering of chilies and coconut.

    Step by Step Instructions to make Pokchoi Saute

    Please check recipe card below for exact measurements of each ingredient used and also for the detailed instructions

    • Chop and wash the bokchoy roughly. I first removed the end part of the bunch and removed each leaves separately, and washed them in water and drained them well. There is a good chance dirt is hidden in the folds of the leaves, so make sure to wash them well.
    • Then chop the leaves roughly and keep aside.
    Recipe for making bokchoy poriyal
    • In a heavy bottom pan, heat oil, splutter mustard seeds, cumin, hing and curry leaves. Add chopped green chilies to this.
    • Add the roughly chopped bokchoy to this and saute. Cover and cook this for 8 minutes in a medium flame. The greens as such release lot of water so do not add any water.
    • Remove cover, add fresh coconut and let it be on heat until it is dry.
    • Take it off heat and serve warm .

    Enjoy this vibrant green stir-fry of pakchoy with rice. I served with simple rasam and rice. I prefer to enjoy stir-fry while it is still warm.

    Even though, bokchoy can be enjoyed raw, i prefer to cook it slightly as I m not daring yet enjoy my greens raw.
