Cauliflower Potato & Carrot Thoran

Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable and you can make so many good dishes like Gobi Manchurian, Aloo Gobi, Chilly Gobi, Cauliflower Kurma, Cauliflower Stir Fry and so on.

Our friends were coming for lunch on a Sunday and I had a Cauliflower in my refrigerator. I had already tried Chilly Gobi and Cauliflower Tomato Stir Fry. I wanted to try something new with Cauliflower. That’s when i thought of making a mixed thoran (coconut stir fry dish) with Cauliflower, Carrots and Potatoes. I was surprised how adding coconut to the dish could bring out such wonderful taste and aroma The dish was transformed entirely.
