Cabbage & Carrot Thoran

Ok, so my daugther isnt such a huge fan of this one...but yours truly certainly is...and esp, if there's a really spicy curry along with the afternoon meal, this thoran adds to the zing in my meal :)
Its no tough ask to get this done...and I'm actually ashamed to blog this one...but guess what, there are a few  variations to this as well...I've seen atleast two (that of my mom & grandmom)...but here goes mine :D

Ingredients

• Cabbage   -- 1/2 of a medium sized one
• Carrot       -- 1 medium sized

To Grind

• Sambar onion  -- 2-3
• Jeera seeds     -- a pinch
• Green chilly     -- 3-4 (would vary depending on your spice level)

Coarsely grind the above.

Grated Coconut   4-5 tbsps

Method

1. Grate the carrot and cabbage.
2. In a frying pan, splutter a few mustard seeds, dry red chilly and curry leaves.
3. Add the cabbage and carrot into the frying pan, along with a pinch of turmeric powder and salt as per taste.
4. Saute for a few mins and add the coarsely ground shallots, jeera seeds and green chilly into the pan. Saute for a minute. Close the lid of the frying pan and cook on low flame (for another 5 mins)until the everything has mixed well.
5. Add the grated coconut and saute on high flame for a couple of mins more. Turn off the stove

The thoran goes well with any kind of curry & rice, my personal favourites being sambar & mambazha kalan.
