'''Thoran''' ({{lang-ml|തോരൻ}}, pronounced {{IPA-ml|t̪oːɾan|}}; or '''upperi''' in Northern Kerala is a class of dry vegetable dishes combined with coconut that originated in the Indian state of [[Kerala]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Robert Bradnock, Roma Bradnock|title=South India Handbook|publisher=Footprint Handbooks|year=2000}}</ref> This common dish is usually eaten with [[rice and curry]] and is also part of the traditional Keralite ''[[sadhya]]''.<br />
<br />
== Preparation ==<br />
Thoran is a dry dish traditionally made of finely chopped vegetables such as cabbage, [[yardlong bean]] and other bean varieties, unripe [[jackfruit]], [[bittergourd]] (കയ്പ്പക്ക/പാവയ്ക്ക) or [[Amorphophallus paeoniifolius|elephant foot yam]], of leaves such as green or red cheera ([[Amaranthus dubius]], ചീര), ''[[Moringa oleifera]]'' or ''[[Ipomoea aquatica]]'', as well as of flowers such as ''Moringa oleifera'' or ''[[Sesbania grandiflora]]''.<br />
<br />
The chopped vegetable is mixed together with grated [[coconut]], [[mustard seeds]], [[curry leaves]] and [[turmeric powder]] and briefly stirred on a pan over a hot fire.<br />
