Microwave carrot poriyal recipe | indian microwave recipes

Carrot poriyal | carrot curry is a simple curry, which can be made in both stove top and Microwave too. I wanted to post the Microwave version, as it is very simple and can be done by bachelors too. I remember some 12 years ago when i went to Hongkong with Suresh, in that hotel room we just survived with the help of microwave and rice cooker for cooking. I am not so much used to hot plates too. I make tea, poriyal, curry in microwave only. Even microwave was so new to me. I just explored on my own. Here in Singapore, even after 6 years, i just bought a basic microwave 2 weeks back only. just for the purpose of reheating, especially when i have guests at home.
Now you can look forward for more Microwave recipes every weekend from Jeyashri’s Kitchen.
