Carrot Beans Poriyal(Stir Fry)

This is a simple stir fry with carrot and beans which is easily available round the year. A typical South Indian lunch platter consists of a medley of preparations with vegetable, lentils stew and curd (yogurt) served with rice, a three course meal. Poriyal is prepared with one or more  finely chopped/ grated vegetables with few spices I prefer to add some turmeric and asafoetida to my preparation. You may omit these and still prepare a tasty poriyal.
