Republic Day Special Dish : Beans-Carrot Thoran

When I saw Pooja's blog and her theme of the week - orange, white & green - event, my mind starting whirring into action. I thought of making a tri-coloured sandwich with carrot and cilantro chutney. I thought of using the chutneys on a dosa. Finally, zeroed in on one of my favourite dishes, thoran, using carrots and beans.



Here is wishing all my Indian readers a very happy Republic Day.

May we all live in peace and harmony just like the vegetables, coconut and masala in this curry blends to make a great-tasting dish.
