Green gram thovaren /சிறுபயர் துவரன்

WELCOME TO RAEIMA'S PASSION

   

                     Green gram thovaren is one of the healthiest and tastiest recipe and it suits with rice. Usually, in Kanyakumari, we had this recipe with hot rice soup(சுடு கஞ்சி) as a breakfast.                                        

                        My mother-in-law makes Green gram thovaren(சிறுபயர் துவரன்) as a side dish but my mom makes Green gram puzhikari(சிறுபயர் புளிக்கறி) as a side dish for hot rice soup, both recipes are delicious with low calories.
