Thoranis a staple vegetable-based dry curry found in the southern India.
No, its not strictly authentic, but the flavours are true.
I am using raw vegetables here to introduce freshness to the dish.
And its absolutely delicious I would not share such an obscure recipe if I felt it wasnt exceptional!!
What you need for this Thoran-style Indian Salad
Heres what you need.
I was feeding a crowd!
All three are key ingredients in traditional Thoran, on which this salad recipe is based.
Black mustard seeds They look like poppyseeds but are fragrant and have a slight horseradish-like bite to them.
Theyre not spicy, more a fresh zing.
Also used inSamosas,Eggplant Curry,Daland in thisVegetable Samosa Piewhich is to-die for!
Curry leaves I just love the smell of fresh curry leaves.
They smell like curry powder, but in fresh curry leaf form!
(Though just so you know, curry powder isnt derived from curry leaves. )
Theyre fairly accessible nowadays for Sydney-siders.
They are sold at Harris Farms, most Coles and most Woolworths.
They keep for a long time in the fridge as in several weeks or can be frozen.
Ive used desiccated coconut here instead.
I think it works especially well because it disperses thoroughly throughout the salad.
However, larger grated strands would also work well.
Being a large chilli, its not that spicy.
All those flavours really transform the ordinary into extraordinary!
But actually, it was created to serve as a side salad for a menu for Indian Week!
Whats Indian Week, you ask?
