- Though coconut oil imparts a unique flavor for this recipe, you can also replace it with groundnut oil or any refined oil.
- Green chillies can be substituted with dried red chillies.
- Some recipes call for the addition of red chili powder though I usually refrain from adding red chili powder for poriyal recipes. You can always experiment according to your taste preference.
