add the raw bananas and green chillies to this...add also the cooked sprouts..
keep the whole thing covered for about 10 - 15 minutes..just before removing ad grated coconut...
how to make sprouts
soak channa dal overnight in water...next day take the channa dal after draining off the water...tie in a clothe and hang it for 24 hours...moisten the clothe in between...at the end of 24 hours this would have sprouted
some tips
- you can use unsprouted channa also but the nutritious content of sprouted one is more
- green gram can also be used instead of black channa
- if the big banana (nenthrakkai )is used then they have to be cooked separately with a little water before adding to the thoran
- this goes well with rice
