Vengayam Thogayal is a tasty Thogayal prepared with onion. Thuvaiyal stays good for two days when refrigerated.

FEW THOGAYAL VARIETIES POSTED IN TMF,

  • Thengai Thogayal 
  • Paruppu Thogayal 
  • kothamalli Vidhai  Thogayal 
  • Beetroot thogayal
  • Tomato Onion Chutney
  • Pudhina Thogayal
  • Sutta Kathirikai Chutney
  • Zucchini Thogayal
  • Kollu thogayal

Thuvaiyal is one of the quick Rice Accompaniments. Rice, thogayal and sesame oil taste heavenly. Even if you don’t find time to cook side dish, sutta Appalam goes well with Thogayal. There are a variety of thogayal options available, but mild sweetness in Onion thogayal is some thing I love. It goes well this Milagu Kuzhambu poondu Kuzhambu  and Omam Kuzhambu 

Shallots thokku, vengaya  Vatha Kuzhambu, shallots  Poriyal are other tasty onion based dishes.
