There is a bit of a lag in writing down these recipes, so I have a lot of catching up to do, so next onam or Vishu all recipes are available on this site. Toran, or Uperi are vegetables stir fried with a tempering of mustard and curry leaves and in some vegetables asfoetida. The most commonly used veggie is Cabbage or french beans. In a Sadya most of the times either of the two vegetables are served.
My favorite vegetable is Cabbage, it is easy to make and takes just 15 mins to cook up this meal and it taste best with Sambar Rice or also with plain chappatis. This is an office dabba takers option.
Ingredients:
Cabbage: 500 gms (Finely chopped)
Chillies: 2-3 nos (slit lenghwise)
Curry Leaves: 5-6 nos
Asfoetida: 1 tsp
Mustard seeds: 1 tsp
Turmeric powder: 1 tsp
Sugar: 1 tsp
Freshly grated Coconut: 1/4 cup
Oil: 2-3 tbsp
Method
1. Heat oil in a Kadai.
2. Add the mustard seed, when the it starts to crackle add the curry leaves + chillies + Tumeric powder and asofoetida.
3. Stir this mixture and the cabbage, Mix well and let this cook with the lid on for 5 mins.
4. Do not add the salt till the cabbage is cooked well as it reduces to half. After 5 mins add the salt and sugar and cook for a minute.
5. Add the coconut and stir it for 30 seconds.
The Toran is ready!!!
Some trivia Asofoetida is optional. For veggies like carrots, french beans, Ivy gourd, gherkins, Elephant yam, boil with salt and turmeric before you follow the above recipe.
Remember each vegetable has a unique taste so even if the recipe is same the taste of each Toran is different.
