Tooriche Alan
Yet another flavourful recipe, Tooriche alan is perfect for winter night when you want something warm, seasonal and unique. Alan means lightly mashed or ground. In this recipe, fresh pigeon peas are used to add a burst of freshness. A great way of using them especially when they are available only for a few months during the winters!
