Ingredients

  • Ivy Gourd/Kovakka : 1/4 cup

  • Garted Coconut : 1/2 cup
  • Mustard Seeds : 1/4 tsp
  • Coconut Oil : 2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves : 1 sprig

Method
 

  1. Peel and cut vegetables lengthwise into 11/2″ pieces long
  2. Since bittergourd/pavakka and jackfruit seeds needs little more cook time than other vegetables, Cook them first using very little water; when it's halfdone add other vegetables, turmeric powder salt to taste and cook on medium-low heat until all vegetables are cooked yet hold their shape.Take care not to cook them to a mush, I would suggest checking every 2 to 3 mins.
  3. Meanwhile crush dried red chillies and garlic cloves in motar pestle or mixer.
  4. Heat 2 tsp coconut oil in frying pan, add mustard seeds when its starts to splutter, add crushed dry red chillies-garlic, 1/4 cup of grated cocount (leaving the other half for final sprinking) and curry leaves; fry till they turn light golden brown. (Note :Be sure not to burn it)
  5. Pour this tempering to the cooked vegetables and mix gently so that vegetables are not mushed. Add remaning fresh grated coconut and little curry leaves over the kani thoran-mixed vegetable stir fry. Serve as part of Vishu Sadya or any day as you wish and Enjoy!

Notes

If more than one vegetable is used, add the longer-cooking ones first and the quicker-cooking ones last.
It’s important to cook the vegetables in a low flame so as to retain the moisture level and so that it doesn’t start burning from the bottom.
It is the coconut oil which gives thoran the aroma and taste, hence do not substitute.
