Dear Achi,
What a special surprise you had in store for me!! I was thrilled when i found out. :P
Loved every aspect of my stay, wished i had a few more days to spare though. Meena and dad were wonderfully warm and the food...marvellicious!!
I even went to the ancient shiva temple nearby. Luved it!! Pity i did not get to see the book as we were so pressed for time but i must say i felt so much at home when i was there.
Looking forward to my next visit and yes, thanx for the tidbits. :)
So happy i am to have met you here!!

Yes cham.It is the whole green gram with green husk.It is the green skin of the dhal that gives the dark green colour to the vegetarian liver pieces.

Hi Achi,
Do i have to soak the paasi payaru and then grind it with sombu like idly maavu?
I have never heard of this recipe and i mentioned abt this to my parents, i am also going to try the cabbage egg curry looks very yummy and i feel hungry just looking at ur blog, reminds me of amma and ooru.
no poornima.no need to soak the pasipayaru.just dry grind it.

Hello Aachi,
Thanks for the good recipe. I have a doubt, the photos of the ingredients have a couple of extra things which is not mentioned in the recipe list. Could you please clarify?
Many thanks
Sujatha,I have left out small jeera and asafoteda in the cocunut paste section
In the masala section, only the items to be seasoned are left out.
A small piece of cinamon,curry leaf and fennel seed
thank you so much for the quick reply. I had made this tonight and it was an instant hit. I got to know about your site from a programme on kairali tv.
sujatha, kodungallur
Thankyou sujatha.Happy to note that you saw the cookery programme shooted in my home in chettinad.I had my education in kerala and love kerala food.I rarely attempt this recipe as it is little time consuming.good to note that you have taken the strain
Tried again.. awesome.. loved it .. My little one (2years old..) was asking me again and again 'what's that amma,whats that amma? is that chicken.. ' she did luved it. :)
Thanks a lot for sharing a wonderful recipe
Solai akka,
I have seen and cook many items from your kitchen. Can i know how to make sambar powder.
Hello Aachi,
I tried the saiva eeral poriyal today.I didn't get the color shown in the picture and also I put 3 garlic pods.. I got the raw smell after the whole thing was done...masala didn't get inside the eeral.. I don't know where i went wrong... Could you pls suggest me some tips?
jeeboomba,if you get the raw taste of garlic then dont grind it along with cocunut.add a teaspoon of ginger garlic paste while sauting the onion and tomatoes.dont worry abt the colour.it depends on the green gram you are using.I hope you used the green gram ie, pasipayaru and not pasiparuppu
Hi Aachi,
Thanks for yr quick reply.. I tried green gram not pasiparuppu...I will try the modification when I try it again...
what a great taste. I am pure vegetarian. we do some recipes with whole green gram flour..Long time ago I had this liver poriyal. In Canada, each and everyday I an trying to cook one traditional dish for my kids....thanks to this post.--Raji
Hi..I jsut just reading your recipie and tried saiva eral..I came out well..But even after well cooking its having the RAW GREEN SMELL..is this the original taste or anything can be done to remove the RAW smell of pasi payaru..
saro,I didnt mind the pasipayaru smell.If you feel it odd try roasting it before grinding.
Hello Amma,
I tried your recipe, it was really great and my husband loved it. I shared this recipe with my mom who tried and now she is sharing with her friends and sisters. One thing my mom did is she made this recipe as a side dish for roti. She made the recipe as semi solid.
Thank you very much for sharing all these awesome recipes..
Hello aunty,
We tried this dish,it was great,first appearance looks typically like liver fry,appreciate the thought of chettinad chefs to have thought of the recipe and make it look non vegetarian,it tastes good too,had with curd rice,thank you,
Skl
I tried this yesterday! It was so awesome and I give this recipe a double thumbs up for anyone who wants to try!
Hello Aachi,
You make really fantastic dishes and I love them all. I love vendaikai pachadi and saiva eeral poriyal. Both were extraordinary.
I follow your blog regularly. Expecting more vegetarian dishes from you.
Thanks a lot
Dear Aunty,
What a fabulous recipe! I am a recent convert from non-vegetarian to vegetarian - I started out for the ethical reasons. But decided to continue for the multiple health benefits.
I've realized I don't miss the non-veg items at all - it is only tamil masalas that truly add any taste to the meat.
So thank you very, very much for providing these saiva-versions of famous non-veg recipes!
Greatly indebted to you for opening our eyes to all the possibilities in tamil cuisine!!
Best regards.
