Tomatillo Thoran
Simple, honest, and on every Kerala lunch plate — mixed thoran is coconut oil, grated coconut, and a handful of spices working quietly together. No fuss, just good food.
Ingredientsfor 3 servings
- 4 nos Tomatillo — cut into small pieces
- 1 nos Onion — cut into small pieces
- 4 nos Green chilles — cut into small pieces
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 cup Coconut — grated
- Curry leaves, a few
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
- 2 nos Dry red chillies
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tsp Oil
Preparation
Step 1
Mix tomatillo, onion, green chillies, turmeric powder, grated coconut, curry leaves and required salt with hand.
Step 2
Set a pan over medium heat and pour in the oil, let the mustard seeds crackle and add red chillies.
Step 3
Add the vegetable mix to the pan and cook in a low flame. Serve hot.
Tip
The pan should be completely dry when you finish — no moisture should remain. That dryness is what gives thoran its characteristic texture.
