- Continue cooking without the lid on, till done, making sure that it doesn¦t get mashed.
- And your thoran is ready within no timea. Not equally appreciated by all, this recipe infact brings mixed emotions on the dining tablea. A frown on the face to show the disappointment for those foodies who like aromatic dishes for lunch/dinner and a big smile for those on a diet and like to have good, healthy fooda. 🙂 An honest confession at this point....I used to be in the first category during my childhood days and now considering the nutritional and medicinal values it offers, a slow transition has occurred to the latter one. No regrets though!!!! As said, eat healthya.be healthy!!!
- So, on that note, happy cooking!!!
