Thirandi Mulakarachu Vevichathu (Vechathu) refers to a traditional dish from Kerala, India made of stingray fish cooked in coconut milk and soured with Kodumpuly. This dish is traditionally cooked in Manchatty/Machatti/Chatti, a traditional earthenware pot used to make great Indian curries.
Thoran is a traditional dry vegetable curry from the southern Indian state of Kerala, known for its simplicity, freshness, and delightful use of grated coconut. It is typically prepared from whatever fresh vegetables are available, such as snake beans, unripe jackfruit, ladies’ fingers (okra), cabbage, green papaya, or spinach. The dish can be made using a single vegetable or a combination — for instance, finely grated cabbage and carrots stir-fried with grated coconut meat.
In the food context, thorax refers to the chest portion of certain animals, particularly seafood like crabs, lobsters, and other Crustaceans, where a significant amount of edible meat can be found. In these animals, the thorax is part of the main body section that includes the head and the legs. This area is often rich in flavour and contains meat that can be more challenging to extract compared to the claws or legs but is nonetheless prized in many culinary traditions.
