Thogayal (or, thohayal) is a versatile chutney-like dish: can be served with hot rice, or with dosai and rotis. It is usually pretty thick - holds shape when rolled into a ball:)
It happens to be a popular dish at home as D asks for it (are you making some toga-yell today?) and despite its fieriness, my wee one seems to relish it with dosai.
Ingredients
1 cup grated coconut (fresh or dry)
2 Tbsp toor dal
1 Tbsp urad dal
2-3 dry red chilies
1 Tbsp tamarind concentrate
1 Tbsp canola oil
salt to taste
Preparation
- dry roast the dals on medium heat till they release a nutty aroma and urad dal turns light golden brown
- combine the toasted dals and rest of the ingredients and blend to a coarse thick paste; adjust salt to taste; add water only if needed;
- serve with dosai, adai, rotis or even hot basmati rice

ReplyDeletei tried the coconut thogayal.. it came good, thanx
The coconut thogayal came very good...tasty..thanks for the recipe
ReplyDeletehi, the coconut thogayal s good
ReplyDeleteGod bless you - nothing like the good old home made dosai. There is something so heartwarming and 'home-like' about tiffins. The word 'tiffin' takes me back forty years and more to my childhood. Have never tried out 4:1 rice to dal but it sounds like a good idea. 'Toga-yell' sounds good! My elder daughter always says "Tho hell with you!"
