Mushroom and Coconut Stir Fry | Mushroom Thoran

Mushroom thoran – Kerala style mushrooms stir fried with grated coconut and spices is a lip-smacking simple side dish with rice.

While I was going through my recent posts, I noticed that I haven’t posted a South Indian recipe for a very long time. So, I thought this time I’ll post one of my favorites – mushroom stir fried with desiccated coconut and spices. I’m a big fan of stir fries, and always try to add at least one dish to my everyday menu. As I write this, several stir fry ideas are popping up in my mind – I think it’s time to add one more category to my recipe list. In fact, the entire process of blogging and blog designing is giving my brain a good workout. And I love it! Uh…oh… going off-topic? Come on, let’s read the recipe.
