Yesterday I prepared Rice ,Radish sambar and Cauliflower thoran. Thoran is a stir fry of veggies along with coconut. Whenever I prepare a South Indian meal for lunch there will always a poriyal or thoran in it. You can find the recipes of poriyal and thoran with different veggies in my blog. Each veggie gives a unique taste to the dish.
