Quick 5 minutes chinna Vengayam Poriyal with small onions. This is a great option if you are out of veggies. Small onion is good for health and this is yet another tasty way to consume it. I am down with cold and throat pain this week. Few days back in my IG feed while posting everyday cooking I had told about it. Ever since that I have been getting lot of home remedy ideas from my friends and followers. I always go for turmeric milk whenever I have sore throat, but I was overwhelmed with lovely tips people gave me. Soon you will be seeing those in my blog. This Chinna Vengaya poriyal is from my friend Kamakshi. IG introduced me to many lovely friends and Kamakshi is one among them.
After seeing my IG post she asked about my health and told me to try her MIL’s home remedy. The recipe she gave me was “sauté shallots in ghee and add pepper-cumin powder and salt to it”. For me, Chinna Vengayam is an additional vegetable in most of my cooking. I have made Thokku with Small onion but never made a poriyal with it, so I was so eager to try it. I read about the medicinal value of small onion and realized that I should start using it often in my kitchen. I decided to make Chinna Vengayam Poriyal like any other south Indian dry curry. After preparing the curry I felt bad for not making it more. Believe me this is one of the easy and tasty curry. Peeling the onion took more time than making the curry. I generally soak my onion in hot water and peel the skin to cry less😅 What is your tip for peeling small onion Chinna vengayam poriyal is like any other curry. It tastes good with any rice accompaniment. I have used ghee but with coconut oil chinna Vengayam Poriyal is one tasty vegan dish.
