Garlic stem/garlic scapes thoran


Description:
In my hometown thoran(scramble with coconut) is an important dish with the main course. Various veggies are used for preparing Thoran. Garlic stems/scapes have a garlic flavour and bit of sweetness. Easy and simple recipe.

Ingredients:
1. Garlic stem - 2 bunch
2. Onion - 1(small)
3. Grated fresh/dry coconut - 4 to 5tspn
4. Green chilli/dry red chilli - 1 or 2
5. Turmeric powder - 1/2tspn
6. Chilli powder - 1tspn
7. Curry leaves(optional)
8. Oil
9. Salt to taste


Procedure:
Clean and wash the stem. Take 5 to 6 stems at a time and chop them into tiny pieces as show in the pictures below.

 Chop the onion and transfer into the garlic stem. Take a skillet and pour oil. Add the curry leaves and dry chillies/green chillies and saute for a second. Then add the garlic stem and close the lid. After 5 minutes remove the lid and mix properly. Again cover and cook for sometime. Next add the coconut, turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt. Mix properly and cook till the garlic stem is done. It cooks very fast.






 Once cooked let it cool down before serving.
