Have been so busy of late. Have not found time for anything, leave alone blogging. Had quite a few guests over the past week, that I've had time for nothing else since. (sigh!) Now, I resent going to the kitchen.Here is a very simple recipe for thoran. Thoran is a dish from Kerala. A very simple, steamed and seasoned cabbage side dish .
Ingredients: ( serves 4-5 )
- Shredded cabbage - 4 cups
- Mustard - 1 tspn
- Green chilli - 2 ( slit)
- Chopped onions - 1/4 cup
- Urad dal - 2 tspns
- Curry leaves - 4-5
- Oil - 2 tspns
- Salt - to taste
- Turmeric powder - 1/8 tspn
- Grated coconut - 1/4 cup
- Heat Oil in a pan and add mustard. Once they splutter, add green chillies and urad dal. Saute ( abt. 2 mins)
- Add onions and curry leaves. Saute.
- Reduce heat to low. Add cabbage, salt, turmeric and 1/8 cup of water. Cover and let it steam for about 8-10 mins. Stir occasionally.
- Finally, add the grated coconut. Stir and cook for about 2-3 more mins.
- Thoran is ready.
