Paruppu Thogayal is traditional South Indian dish. Thogayal can be prepared within 5 minutes. Paruppu thogayal is light and good for digestion. Whether it is side dish or rice accompaniment, Paruppu thogayal tastes yum.
Jagadish loves this Paruppu thogayal. Whenever we have a heavy meal at home or outside, he prefers Paruppu thogayal, sutta Appalam and milagu rasam next day. Simple and comforting for tummy.
There are various version of Paruppu thogayal. Growing up, Paruppu thogayal for me was a different style. My Amma makes a version with urad dal and coconut. We used to have it with sesame oil. Next to coconut thogayal, this was my favorite. Well Urad dal version is not light like this toor dal thogayal but Vengaya vetha kuzhambu, thogayal and vadam is an addictive combo.
This version of Paruppu thogayal is my mother-in-law’s version. I happened to taste this after marriage. One day we all went out and had lunch, I was extremely full and said I will skip dinner. MIL made this Paruppu thogayal and milagu rasam for dinner. Seeing the difference in color and texture I was asking how it is prepared. After hearing toor dal I was doubtful about the taste but it was so comforting.
Now a days I cook both Amma’s and MIL’s version alternatively. Recently we had vegetable biryani, Shorba and cucumber raita for lunch so next day we needed a light meal and Paruppu thogayal and milagu rasam came into the menu. That’s when I realized I haven’t posted it yet.
