This recipe is my MIL recipe, today hubby told me that she does a thoran kind of recipe when he is little, and it used to taste amazing. So i referred the recipe from her and modified it to my taste. And the result was amazing..Hubby loved it so much.
Normally my athai used to make this thoran and make the stock as soup. But i used the stock to make rasam and it came out so yummy..I will soon share that recipe too..
