I couldn’t believe that it is already May. Time flies like anything. I have been posting a couple of dry Indian side dishes and this will be the last in the series.  Let’s give a small break for a dry side dish in TMF.

Coming back to Celery, after coming to the US, I got acquainted with Celery.  I am not a big fan of celery but the healthy aspects of celery made me include it often at home. Nowadays I started buying celery in Costco, and have been preparing smoothies regularly.

Celery reminds me of Amma’s Pudalangai curry. I like using the vegetables we get here in the Indian version so this curry pulled my attention. She had prepared Celery with carrots.

I have prepared the celery poriyal similar to the usual Thengai curry. If you like celery and find ways to use it in your everyday diet celery poriyal is one nice way. Celery poriyal goes well with any rice accompaniment.
