Cheera thoran

Cheera thoran is a traditional side dish originating from Kerala. It's usually made with a combination of spinach, onions, garlic, cumin, hot peppers, mustard seeds, grated coconut, red chili powder, turmeric, coconut oil, and curry leaves. The ingredients are chopped or ground, then stir-fried in oil over medium heat. The mixture is simmered with water for a few minutes, and it's then served while still hot, ideally with chapati flatbread on the side. If desired, cheera thoran can also be served with steamed rice for a full meal.
