This is a very simple & healthy Thuvaiyal recipe. My Mil used to make this Paruppu Thogayal with Kara Kuzhambu or Vatral Kuzhambu on holidays. Mmmm…it’s a delectable combination...;)) Also it tastes best when paired with idly & dosa. This thogayal is almost like chutney, that is in thick consistency. It is made of lentils, spices and coconut. Try this tasty authentic recipe & enjoy…

Ingredients

Toor dal / Thuvaram Paruppu - ½ cup

Grated coconut - 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Instructions

1.

Heat ½ tsp oil in a fry pan.

Dry roast Toor dal in low flame, until it lets out nice aroma. ( take care not to burn it, else the thogayal tastes bitter.)

Now roast red chilly, garlic, peppercorns, hing & grated coconut pieces for few minutes.
