Vendakkai Thoran
This is what amma makes on most of the days, the one variation is she changes the vegetables. She makes it with carrot or beans or beetroots. But thoran gets a place on the menu most of the week. I can easily eat beetroot thoran, but the one thing i hated is this ladysfinger thoran. But as a adult i love it. The key stuff in this thoran is you should chop up the veggie pretty finely, so it gets cooked faster and turns into good texture.
So give this a try and let me know what you think.
