Beetroot Thoran Recipe – Beetroot Upperi Recipe | Beetroot Stir Fry Recipe

I had this post languishing in my drafts for a long time now and so I thought i will post it before I loose track of it. Thoran or Upperi refers to stir-fry, seasoned with coconut, curry leaves and mustard seeds which  is a usual preparation in the lunch menu of Kerala households which they relish with rice and curries…

Thoran can be made with different vegetable, with small variations in spices.The one I am showing here is a simple thoran with beetroot which is mixed together with grated coconut, mustard seeds, curry leaves and turmeric powder and briefly stirred on a pan over a very fire. If you have all the ingredients ready, then it takes no time to whip this up. Hope you all will enjoy this classic Kerala Stir Fry /Thoran as much as we did 🙂

    I always make beetroot with carrot,thats how my amma used to make,never tried betroot on its own..
    What I love the most and hate the most about betroot is its colour,I love the colour after its cooked but hate the colour on my fingers after chopping or grating it 🙂
