Carrot & Spring Onion Thoran

Thoran is a famous south indian dish. It is made with a whole lot of veggies, hmm i would say you can make thoran with almost all veggies. You can check all my thoran dish here. Normally we make thoran with carrots alone, but for a twist i added some spring onions in there too. And it actually tasted yummy.

I served it with andhra tomato rasam. The combination is yummy. So here you go to the recipe..
