The term “thoran” refers to a stir-fry dish typically made with finely chopped or grated vegetables. Like Poriyals from Tamil Nadu, Thorans are known for their delectable flavors and versatility. In the traditional Hindu festival Kerala Sadya, Thoran is a special dish often served as part of a large meal consisting of 24 to 28 dishes. This vegetable-based dish can be made with a variety of leafy greens or vegetables. One popular variation of Thoran is Beetroot. Beetroot Thoran is a quick, mildly spiced, and slightly sweet dish with fresh beetroots and earthy coconut. It is a perfect side dish that can be packed in a tiffin box and served with phulka rotis, plain parathas, or plain rice. If you’re looking for a healthy and delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, Beetroot Thoran is definitely worth trying!

Whole Spices: You will need urad dal, mustard seeds and cumin seeds to give the dish a pungent aroma and an earthy flavor. Aromatic: Onion and garlic are used as aromatics. Green chilies: For the heat. You can skip it if you don’t prefer spicy food. Fresh coconut: Fresh coconut is a must in this recipe. Fresh coconut adds to a unique and distinct flavor. But if the fresh coconut is unavailable, you may substitute it with desiccated coconut. Oil: I used coconut oil. Feel free to use any cooking oil. Other spices: You will need salt and turmeric powder. Lemon juice: This is optional but highly recommended.
