Today's recipe is Beans Poriyal, a simple stir fried green beans. Though at home, we all love beans, I don't make it very often. The reason is I really don't have very good knife skills (partly lazy to cut too), so have to rely completely on hubby to chop this. But recently when we went to grocery store, these beans were really fresh and couldn't resist the urge to buy it. It was sitting in the fridge for about a week, Hubby is so busy these days, so had to chop myself and make it. Chopping is the most complicated part in this recipe, rest is super easy. :)
Once my grandma visited us when we were in India and I made her this poriyal. She really loved it. She is a good cook and loves good food. Even now whenever I talk to her, she will definitely mention about the poriyal. It is like , "Vasishtar vaayaal bramhma rishi". Though I am still a novice cook, I am proud and glad that she loved it and still she remembers it. It means a lot to me.
