Is this a variation of beans thoran, a Kerala dish? I made that recently, but did not chop up my beans as finely as yours. I like how your coconut is roughly shredded, it gives the dish more texture, huh?
I dont know about kerala thoran. But this is one way fo making beans.
I have added the store bought coconut flakes, but the fresh one gives you a better taste.
Thanks
