About Mixed Veg Thoran
Mixed Veg Thoran is a mixture of various vegetables stir fried with coconut and minimum spices. It can be made with an array of vegetables. I have used French beans, carrot and cabbage. The veggies are cooked to a perfect tender-crisp texture retaining their natural flavour. Thoran is easy to prepare and gets made quickly.
It is served as a side-dish in traditional Kerala meals. It pairs well with other South Indian staples like sambar, rasam, and yogurt-based curries. It is an integral part of Onam Sadhya.
