Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Green Bean Thoran
- For a richer flavor, use freshly grated coconut. Pre-grated coconut can be a bit dry.
- Adjust the amount of red chilies according to your spice preference. Start with fewer and add more if needed.
- Don't overcook the green beans; they should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving.
