Our Beans Thoran is a humble, hearty, and heroic dish. This simple stir-fry of beans, coconut, and spices has been on our menu since day one, a nutritious and comforting classic that fuels working lunches and feeds the soul.
For Vishu, we make a special Jackfruit Thoran. Tender shredded jackfruit meets the mellow warmth of coconut masala in this seasonal star. For some, it's a fancy dish; for others, it's the comforting pull of nostalgia.

About Seasonal & Vegetarian Stars
Working with seasonal produce like tender jackfruit or banana blossom isn't about following a static recipe; it’s about timing. We source these ingredients only when they are at their absolute peak, which means our menu of thorans and stir-fries shifts with the seasons. If you see a specific seasonal vegetable on our list, grab it while it's here—it is cooked with small-batch, traditional care, and it stays only as long as nature allows.
In our kitchen, a 'thoran' is more than just a vegetable stir-fry. It is the backbone of a traditional Kerala meal. Whether it is our classic Beans Thoran, which has been a staple since day one, or the earthy, nutty Jackfruit Seed Stir-fry, we prioritize the integrity of the vegetable.
We don't believe in over-complicating. We use fresh, grated coconut, authentic coconut oil, and a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves. It is the kind of cooking that requires patience—meticulously shredding the jackfruit or preparing the banana heart (vazhakoombu) involves time that most commercial kitchens avoid, but it makes all the difference in texture and taste.
Our seasonal stars are often influenced by the local rhythms of the land—like the Jackfruit Thoran we serve during Vishu, or our Smoked Kharsinga and carrot stir-fry that honors tribal culinary heritage. We deliver these across Mumbai from our kitchens in Bandra, Mahim, and Powai. If you are looking for authentic Kerala vegetarian food that tastes like home, these dishes are designed to remind you of exactly that: the comforting, unapologetic flavors of a Malayali kitchen.
