    Urad Dal Thogayal | Paruppu Thogayal | Thuvaiyal

    Mar 23, 2015 · 1 Comment

    My 109th Post, "Urad Dal Thogayal (Paruppu Thogayal | Thuvaiyal)", a perfect side for Puliyodharai. As I had mentioned yesterday, the thing I love about warm weather is the chance to go outdoors. While enjoying the outdoors was the reason for half of the excitement, the other half of the excitement was because my mom always used to pack puliyodharai along with this delicious paruppu thogayal for lunch.

    By the time we sit down for lunch, I would be always crazy hungry. The sight and smell of the puliyodharai and thogayal would be just what the doctor ordered for the occasion. There are different versions of paruppu thogayal using toor dal, chana dal, with and without coconut. However my mom always used to prepare this thogayal with urad dal as an accompaniment for puliyodharai. There is nothing to beat the delicious taste of a well made puliyodharai along with this wonderful thogayal. Simply YUM 😉

    For the benefits of those who are not aware, "Thogayal" or "Thuvaiyal" is a kind of Chutney, which is much thicker in consistency and generally had as an accompaniment with rice.

    Notes | FAQ

    - Do not dry roast until too dark, thogayal would taste bitter.
    - Do not grind to a fine paste. A little coarse paste would give the best taste.
