Hi Maggie, traditionally you’d serve this with thoran – I have several to choose from but some favorites are: green bean thoran, beet thoran, zucchini thoran. I also link to more recipes that’ll go well with this dish at the bottom of the post. Let me know how it goes – hope you love it!

Vanessa, I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how it turned out 🙂

Carol, so happy to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how much you liked it 🙂

I would say a 6 out of 10 – it’s spicy, but certainly less spicy than it traditionally is (and less than my Keralite husband would like, ha). The ingredients that make this spicy are: half a teaspoon of minced green chilli, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne, as well as 2 dried red chilies. You can certainly omit or decrease these ingredients to make the dish more savory than spicy.

How would you describe the spice level?

Arjun, that’s so great to hear! Can’t wait to hear what you think of this recipe 🙂

Thanks, Jeena! I wouldn’t use onion masala here – I know the dish calls for onions and tomatoes but the flavor and texture is totally different. You’ll see what I mean after you try it! Let me know what you think 🙂
