Thenga othukkiyathu with step by step photos
Thoran is a famous Kerala style of preparation and an
integral part of the everyday Kerala meals. With all kinds of vegetables, we
can make thoran. I have already shared cabbage thoran, have a glance through it.
The basic method of thoran preparation is almost the same,
once we are familiar with the coconut preparation, we can quickly make tasty
thoran.
One thing which we should keep in mind is that the coconut
should not be over ground, it should be coarsely ground or crushed without
adding water.
Within three steps, we can make stir fries, cook veggies
with salt, (add water if the recipe demands), mix with spicy coconut mixture, cook
till the raw smell leaves.
