  • Now the vaalaipoo poriyal is ready.
  • Try this poriyal,really healthy and tasty..goes well with sambar rice,rasam sadham, curd rice and any variety rice.

Note: Soaking the chopped flowers in buttermilk will helps to reduce bitterness of the flower and retain the original color.If u want u can also add 2tbsp of shredded coconut at the end to enhance the taste. Cook toor dal with 1cup water with little turmeric,no need to cook softly 3/4th cooking is enough .you can also replace toor dal with moongdal or channa dal.
