Kerala Beetroot Thoran Recipe with step by step pics and a short YouTube video. This is a small information to my readers who are wondering what is thoran? It is a coconut based vegetable Keralite dish made of finely chopped vegetables such as carrot, beans, cabbage, bitter gourd, unripe jackfruit or even drumstick leaves (Source: Wiki). The chopped veggies are tempered in coconut oil and mixed together with a grounded coconut mixture, alongside with shallots, garlic etc. We had it with hot steaming rice, Kerala parippu curry and instant mango pickle. The taste was completely different from the Tamilnadu style beetroot poriyal, read the recipe till the end, do try it and you will know the difference….. in one word ‘yum’
