Sardine Thoran
Sardine Thoran
This stir-fry is my favorite way to eat sardines! The spices and coconut help mask the strong fishy flavor of sardines. Even if you’re not typically a fan of sardines, give this thoran a try. You can also use canned tuna in place of the sardines.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1- inch ginger minced
- 1 Serrano pepper minced
- 1 sprig of curry leaves
- 2 4.375 ounce packages of wild sardines in extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup finely shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon meat masala
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil in a pan over medium heat, then add mustard seeds.
- Once they begin to splutter, add the onions, garlic, ginger, serrano pepper and curry leaves. Mix well and after 2 minutes, add the remaining ingredients.

Notes
