Thoran / Upperi (Stir Fry with Coconut and Spices) is a typical tasty Keralite’s dish served with steamed rice. It is also a main part of Onam/Vishu Sadya (Keralites Vegetable Feasts). Tri Veg Thoran (Stir Fry with Three Vegetables and Coconut) is an interesting recipe from my kitchen. I made this recipe with three colours and the three attracting colours reminds me of my mother land’s tri colour flag (Threvarnna Pathaaka). It always gives me a proud and an energetic feeling….Yes! I am a proud Indian! Where ever I am it gives me an awesome feeling 😉 Hmmmm….I think I am too talkative and emotional in this subject…sorry guys… We will come back to the Tri Veg Thoran 😉 Tri Veg Thoran is a great combination of carrot, french beans, cabbage, coconut and some Indian spices like turmeric powder as well as roasted cumin seed powder. Normally I prepare the roasted cumin seed powder at home. It gives a special taste and fragrance. Tri Veg Thoran is a healthy dish because it contains three nutritional vegetables and turmeric (It has many medicinal values and health benifits). So please include this kind of dishes as part of your daily diet. Here the tasty colourful recipe with some of my creational awesome pictures 😉 Enjoy 🙂
