Venthaya keerai thoran recipe with step by step pictures
Venthaya keerai thoran is a traditional kerela recipe. In kerela, people cook coconut based recipes often and it is very healthy and also flavourful. Today i cooked venthaya keerai thoran recipe inspired from a cookbook. It was the first time i made thoran. Usually in tamilnadu, we cook keerai poriyal which is topped with grated coconut. This is more or less related to thoran. It is too good.
This thoran can be served as a sidedish for vegetarian meal as well as it goes well with rice too. Hope you like it. Try it once and you just loves it like me. I have added cooked dal to it as i cooked dal for sambar and adding dal to keerai tastes too yummy. But it is optional.
