Kothamalli Vidhai thuvaiyal | Kothamali vara thogayal is an easy, 5-minute rice accompaniment. Without coconut, onion, and garlic this is one quick thuvaiyal to consider on busy mornings, or when you ran out of any vegetables. Vegan and healthy Coriander seed thogayal tastes good with rice and sesame oil. Most of my recipes are my Amma's. This one is from the book Amma gave it me. After my mother got married, my grandmother gifted me a book - “Meenakshi Ammal” Recipes. I remember seeing this book when I was young, and after I started cooking I wanted to try traditional recipes from this book. My initial days were all into baking and trying out new recipes, I somehow forgot this book. A few years back when my Amma came to visit us, I was all active in blogging. She brought this book and told to try out South Indian recipes from this. I have been using this book on and off for reference. Because of my long two breaks from TMF I missed blogging the recipes from this book. Recently when I was reading the book I saw this thogayal.
Like Paruppu thogayal, this thogayal doesn’t have any coconut. In almost all the thogayal I make I add coconut. This one without coconut or any other ingredients like garlic, onion, mint, and coriander leaves pulled my attention. There are days when I am out of veggies, and super confused as to make rice accompaniment. I thought recipes like this should have a copy in my blog. The measurement was given in "Azhaakku" a traditional Tamil way of measurement, so Amma helped me to adapt to my usual cup measurement. I am always a big fan of quick and easy recipes. For this thogayal cooking time is around 3 minutes and overall it won’t take more than 10 minutes. Including the wait time for the dal to cool down. I generally soak my tamarind in water before starting the sautéing step so that by that time the coriander mixture is cool, tamarind is well soaked in water, and cook for the grinding. Dhaniya is very good for health and it is often used in my kitchen. Amma always makes batches of podi like Dhaniya, Thengai, and curry leave podi handy. Days when we went out and come late these podi are very hand. Nowadays thogayal recipes like this one have become my saver.
