Details and Ingredients

Thoran / Mezhukkupuratti offers a taste of Kerala’s vibrant vegetarian cuisine with your choice of two classic stir-fries. Thoran is a dry preparation of seasonal vegetables—think beans, cabbage, or carrots—stir-fried with grated coconut, mustard seeds, cumin, green chilies, and curry leaves, delivering a nutty, aromatic flavor. Mezhukkupuratti, on the other hand, is a spicier fry of veggies like potatoes, yam, or raw banana, cooked in coconut oil with turmeric, red chili powder, and black pepper, offering a bold, crisp bite. Both dishes highlight Kerala’s knack for transforming simple ingredients into something extraordinary.

Served hot, they’re perfect as a side to rice or bread, or a light standalone dish for veggie lovers.
