looks sooo tempting n delicious fry..
WOW! What a beautiful click of kale. I love it.
Can we replace Spinach with Kale in this recipe, I dont exactly know what Thoran is really.. is it just another word for Sabzi or is it different from that ?
Sorry for the late reply, Nupur 🙁 You can replace spinach with kale. Since spinach cooks much faster than kale, you don’t need to cover it with a lid while cooking. Thoran is basically veggie stir-fry with grated coconut.
I use this recipe to make lal bhaji (red leaves) and it comes out well
My grandson who lives in Canada and who is 7 yrs loves kale made with this recipe. I use this recipe to make lal bhaji (red leaves)
