Finger licking and tasty side dish from boneless chicken although generally thoran is a Kerala preparation (pretty much any vegetable can be made into thoran using grated coconut, shallots, cumin, and green/red chillies), it is believed this is a Reddiar recipe that first originated in Thirunelveli when the Reddiar community was concentrated there. Either way this is a delicious chicken recipe and very easy to make even for beginner cooks.
