#cookingwithcoconut -
Thoran is a Kerala delicacy that is not only nutritious, but very delicious and easy to prepare. It is a common item in a Sadya meal. It is a quick recipe, mildly spiced and has a lot of fresh coconut in it. Don't forget to cook in coconut oil for an authentic touch.

Thoran can be made with veggies like carrot, cabbage, beetroot, raw banana, okra, etc. But today I would like to share my version of a Beans Thoran. It is almost similar to beans poriyal from Tamilnadu and can be relished as a side dish with curd-rice, sambar rice, dal-chawal or chapati.
