The components...

Beans, haricot - 250g

Drumstick (moringa) - 2

Coconut, grated - 1/2 cup

Shallots - 4

Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp

Salt - 1/4 tsp

Turmeric powder - a bit

Chili powder - 1/4 tsp

Water - 1/2 cup

 

 

The modus operandi...

Wash beans and drumstick. Trim ends of beans and cut into small rings. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sprinkle some water and microwave for 5 minutes. Cut open drumstick and using a spoon, scrape its insides. Boil the inside flesh and seeds in little water and a pinch of salt. 

 

 

Peel shallots and chop roughly. Throw in shallots, coconut, cumin seeds, salt, turmeric powder and chili powder into a small blender jar. Blend twice for a second each.

Heat up a deep-bottomed steel pan and cast in cooked beans and moringa. Move some of the vegetables to the sides of the pan, leaving some in the middle. Add the coconut mishmash into the center. Cover the coconut mixture with the beans and moringa pushed to the sides earlier. 

 

 

 

 

 

The coconut potpourri will cook in the steam that comes off from the veggies. After 5 minutes, give a good stir. Fling in additional salt if required. Spread the prepared thoran so that any extra water will evaporate.
