Thuvaiyal can be prepared within 10 minutes. Check out the Thengai Thogayal video and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel.  Ever since my childhood days, one of my favorites is thogayal. I and my sister am big fans of Bisi bele bath and biryani. Whenever Amma makes a special dish the next day she mostly prepares Thengai thogayal and Milagu siraga rasam. Thengai thogayal is my comfort food. If you are following me on IG, in my daily feed you would have seen Thengai thogayal frequently. I recently realized that I haven’t posted Thuvaiyal in my blog. Since I was posting theme-based dishes I was waiting for this month to post. Traditional South Indian recipes like this need to be posted so that I won’t keep calling Amma for the proportion.   https://youtu.be/wBhz3LXEhmk Whenever you are looking for something super fast and yummy, thuvaiyal is one great option to consider. With sesame oil/ ghee, Thengai thogayal tastes great with any side dish, even Appalam. I like thogayal with Onion Vetha kuzhambu. Hubby likes when I make Thengai thogayal, Poondu rasam, and Appalam for lunch.

     

    Thengai is one commonly used ingredient in the home. You must have seen a lot of Thengai Based dishes in TMF. Be it a rice accompaniment, side, sweet, etc. TMF has coconut written all over it.

    1.  Dry coconut can also be used 
    2. Sauteeing coconut is optional
    3. Few peppercorns can be sautéd and added to the chutney for extra flavor
    4. Adjust the spice according to your desired consistency

    10. Tempering is optional
