Beans thoran

Thoran is poriyal with coconut shavings and the specific veggie. Most common thoran in 'sadhyas' is cabbage thoran. My personal favourite is beans thoran done the below mentioned way.

Fresh french beans chopped very fine, cooked in coconut-onion-green chilli paste. This is something I learnt from my mother in law. I just love this way of cooking beans. The colour and flavour is awesome.

Ingredients
French beans chopped very fine. The slices should be as thin as possible.
Onion chopped 1 big
Green chillies 2-3
Coconut 3 tsp scraped
Mustard, curry leaves, oil for seasoning. (I use coconut oil for this poriyal)
Turmeric powder

Method

1. Grind the coconut, green chillies and onion to a fine paste. Add water just enough for grinding.
2. Heat oil, add the seasonings.
3. Once that is done, add the beans, turmeric, salt to taste, and the ground masala.
4. Cook covered till beans are soft and raw smell goes. Sprinkle some water to cook.

Enjoy with rice and any curry of your choice.
