Today we are starting with 4th week of Blogging Marathon. My theme for the week is "Pick 1 and do 3". It means pick 1 state and do 3 dishes. But the states have to fall under the geographical regions - South Indian states, North Indian states, Western Indian States or Eastern Indian states.
I choose South Indian States and will be posting 3 dishes from South states - Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. For day 1, I will be posting a very popular dish from Kerala- Beans Thoran.
Beans Thoran is a simple and nutritious kerala style beans side dish for rice. This dish is packed with flavors of fresh coconut, garlic and green chilies. This is one of the dish served for Onam Sadya. Coconut based thoran can also be made with carrots, cabbage and pumpkin.
Ingredients:
Green beans chopped 2 cups
Chopped green chili 1 tsp
For Coconut masala mix:
Grated coconut 3/4 cup
Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp
Garlic cloves 2

For Tempering:
Chopped shallots 1
Curry leaves 6
Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp

Beans Thoran is a dish that I made when I made a Kerela meal and we all loved it . Simple , no frills , yet so delicious .
These basic veggie stir fry I love. First of all they can be made with any veggie and the masala ingredients adds so much flavor!
Beans stir fry with loads of coconut looks so inviting. Love the freshly grounded masala used
