HOW LONG SHOULD I COOK banana flower?

Banana flowers get cooked soon. It takes around 5-7 minutes. I have cooked in the pan but you can cook in a microwave ir pressure cooker

CAN I SKIP SOAKING moong DAL?

Soaking helps with fast cooking. I have cooked moong dal in an open pot. Avoid pressure cooking as dal might turn mushy.

can I skip the onion?

Yes, it is optional but gives a good flavor for the poriyal.

COOKING OIL FOR PORIYAL?

I would recommend coconut oil for vegan coconut-based Indian poriyal. You can add any oil of your choice.
