NOTE:

----------

1. Be careful while adding the salt, since the Karuvadu already contains salt in it.

2. Clean the Karuvadu very well for a few times until the sand is completely removed.

3. You can also use shallots instead of onion.

4. You can also add raw plantain to this thoran, just like my Squid RawBanana Thoran recipe.
