I seldom do long beans. Last week when I visited wet market for weekly purchases the shop vendor told me the long beans is really nice.. I should try.. I thought of giving it a try. So I brought some. I wanted simple lunch so made rasam and this masala poriyal. It is perfect to go with curd rice, Rasam rice or even roti. I had some left over which I spread on my toasted bread next day. So this is really multi purpose side dish
