Avarkkai Porial

This is one more excellent side dish for any sambar. But I like it to have as a gravy with rice. Usually on a rainy day, my mom will surely prepare this porial, rasam and hot rice. She mix the hot rice with this porial and feed us even when i was doing my college. I love my mom's mixing as she will add a little more salt and it would be nice to have from mom's hand always.

Lets get into the recipe.
