Notes

Note:
 Soak mung dal 4-5 hours in a water and then steam cook carrots along with the mung dal for an enhanced taste of the poriyal (Knol-Khol and radish poriyal can be prepared using a similar method)
You can use a whole dry red chilli instead of green chilli.
You can either finely chop or grate the carrots. If using grated carrots, then do remember to add less water and the cooking time will also reduce.
