Kothavarangai Thoran is a Kerala way of making Cluster beans Poriyal. In Tamilnadu, for making poriyal, we start with finely chopping the veggies, then proceed with tempering. After tempering, we toss the chopped veggies, cover and cook it along with salt and once the veggie is cooked, we add fresh grated coconut and serve with Main Courses. Kerala Thoran are rich in coconut. For most of the thoran, fresh coconut, red chili and cumin are crushed and added to cooked vegetable. This way of crushing coconut with red chili and cumin gives a wonderful flavor to the poriyal.

Tips for making Kothavarangai Thoran | Cluster Beans Poriyal:

  • Finely chop the cluster beans that will help the beans to cook faster
  • If you plan to steam cook in a pressure cooker or steamer, add pinch of turmeric and required salt to the cluster beans and cook. If you are planning to cook in open pan, first cook the cluster beans till its 80% done and then add salt
  • Add generous amount of coconut while crushing or grinding
  • If you use a mixer to grind the coconut, do not add water
  • Add the crushed coconut only after all the water in the cooked cluster beans has evaporated
