Carrot Beans and Peas Poriyal

Starting the 3rd week of blogging Marathon #90 with everyday lunch/dinner recipes.Being a rice eater most of our weekday lunch or dinner would be a simple South Indian cooking.As kids's prefer to eat rice once in a day, I do a veggie poriyal and some sambar or kuzhambhu variety.

For day 1,I sharing a poriyal recipe with mixed veggies and green lentil(moong dhal).I make this poriyal whenever I have a small portion of those veggies.It pairs very well with sambar spicy kuzhambhu varieties.This recipe is a no onion-garlic version and all the veggies are homegrown.
