Murungakkai Poriyal Recipe is a simple recipe from South India made by stir frying the drumsticks. Chopped drumsticks are sautéed in basic spices and then laced with fresh grated coconut. Usually, the poriyal is used as a side dish recipe with a curry, roti, sambar or avial and steamed rice.

For a great tasting poriyal, it is important to find drumsticks that have soft centres and are slightly thick. Thicker drumstick means the pulp is more which makes it more juicy & nutritious & a sheer pleasure to eat.
