CABBAGE, CARROT & BEANS THORAN

Description

The specialty of this dish is that it is made of homegrown vegetables. We have a small vegetable garden in our backyard and our kids take care of it. The cabbage, carrots and round beans used to prepare this dish are from there. Purely organic too. Thoran is South Indian dish, a vegetarian fry in which grated & crushed coconut is added. This thoran is also called tri-colour thoran as it has white, green and orange colours. I like combining vegetables for thoran as it is the best way to get the kids to eat variety of veges and it looks attractive too.
