Achinga Payar Thoran refers to a no onion no garlic stir fry with long yard beans, tempered with coconut. Usually served with Rice + Sambhar or Rasam

Achinga payar thoran or long yard beans stir fry is something I learnt from my blogger friend Seema’s blog. Although we made kootu / sambhar / curry with this, this kerala style thoran is something we have relished many times now. 

Seema’s blog is a treasure trove of both traditional and exotic dishes like black carrot salad, pomelo salad and the like. Today’s thoran or onion-garlic free stir fry is a simple side dish that tastes best with rice n sambhar / rasam. I have served it with my jeera milagu Rasam today and the combo is soothing and satiating all at once.
