Kongunadu Peerkangai Thakkali kadayal

Flavorful dish with tomato, ridge gourd and brinjal. It goes well as a side dish for Tiffin varieties like idli, dosai, Pongal, etc. Also, a tasty rice accompaniment when mixed with rice and chappathi

BRINJAL VARIETY 

You can use any variety of brinjal. Cut the brinjal just before cooking to avoid decolouration.

AMOUNT OF tomatoes?

Tomato is the key ingredient for sourness, so I recommend adding more tomatoes than brinjal and ridge gourd. Depends on the soreness of the tomato. Adjust accordingly.

CAN I SKIP vegetables?

Yes, vegetables are optional for Kongu Nadu Tomato Bajji. You can skip. Potatoes can also be added

THE SHELF LIFE OF thakkali kadayal

It stays good for 2-3 days in the fridge.

CHILLI POWDER FOR peerkanga masiyal?

The colour of the masiyal depends on various factors like the Chilli powder, tomatoes, etc.
