Instructions

Simple & easy-to-follow

Step 1

- Heat the kadai or a saucepan and add oil. I used my clay pot for making this poriyal. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, urad dal, and chana dal. When the mustard seeds splutter, add the dried red chilies and saute for 20 to 30 seconds.

Step 2

- Then add the chopped shallots.

Step 3

- Let the shallots turn translucent and soft. Then add the cleaning moringa leaves. Add salt, ground turmeric, and ground pepper.

Step 4

- Mix well. If using sugar, add the sugar as well and mix thoroughly.

Step 5

- Cover and cook the moringa leaves over medium-low heat for four to five minutes.

Step 6

- Then remove the lid and cook till the oozed out water is all evaporated.

Step 7

- Here it is after the poriyal is thoroughly cooked. Serve warm.
