Mudhira/Vanpayar/Kadala Thoran

Thoran-4

This method u can do with red choura(Vanpayar),Mudira (horse gram),Chakkakuru (jackfruit seeds) ,Thorans.

Vanpayar Thoran

1.Red Choura (Vanpayar)-3/4 cup

Soak this in enough water for 4 hrs or overnight .

Pressure cook this for a whistle with enough water & without adding salt .

Adding salt while cooking lentils hardens it & takes more time to cook.

2.mustard seed-1 tsp

Oil-1 tbsp

Splutter mustard in hot oil.

3.onion-1

Garlic-5-6

Curry leaves-1 sprig

Chop the above ingredients and add to the above & Saute for a minute or two.

4.chilli powder-1 1/2 tsp

Scrapped coconut-1/2 cup

Salt to taste

Add chilli powder & Saute. Add some water from the cooked Vanpayar to this & cook till oil seperates.now add the coconut scrapped to this & the cooked Vanpayar & any left over water.Cook till all the water dries up.

Note::

1. If u r making Mudhira Thoran,no need to soak in water.just add enough water which is a little above the lentils and pressure cook for 1 or 2 whistles.

2.When you make Chakkakuru Thoran,you can cook the seeds after soaking them as a whole with 1/4 cup water and salt for a whistle.and then cut the cooked seeds into desired slices.This way it's easy to cut the seeds (than without cooking)
