Thoran or Thuvaran, is a coconut based vegetable poriyal. It is an integral part of Kerala Cuisine. Generally Thoran is served with hot steaming rice along with Kuzhambu or rasam. We can use any vegetables like Cabbage, carrot, Cluster beans, yard beans, yam, raw jackfruit  and many more veggies. Carrot Cabbage Thoran is one of the quickest and easiest poriyal to make. Both the vegetables are salad veggies which means, they can be eaten raw and if cooked, they get cooked so quickly.

My MIL used to dry grind freshly grated coconut with red chili and cumin seeds and it to thoran. That coconut based spice gives the thoran more flavor. For this Carrot Cabbage thoran, we are just garnishing freshly grated coconut without grinding. This easy to make thoran is a best accompaniment for any South Indian main course like Kuzhambu or Rasam or Mor Kuzhambu.
