When the leaves turn brown add the chopped avaraikka with turmeric powder and salt to taste.
Sprinkle a little water if needed. the thoran should be dry.
After the vegetables are cooked add the coarse coconut onion and green chillies mix. Stir well so that all the ingredients mix well together. Cover and simmer for a minute or two.
