thengai thogayal recipe /coconut thuvaiyal

This thengai thogayal recipe is one such easy dish when we decide to keep our lunch menu simple in all our hectic working days. Its a traditional recipe done commonly in all of our South Indian homes frequently. In our home we make it little different. Means that we always add green chillies instead of red chillies which gives a different take to this wonderful dish. In the same way we always add a bit of vadagam and grind. Just try adding vadagam definitely you will love the flavour and taste. At all times I never miss to add this vadagam and we call it as badaga in our kannada language. We call it as

thenkai paruppu. Adding urad dal gives a nice nuttiness and flavour to this dish. The dals should be fried golden to get a nice tasting thengai thogayal recipe. Always use small onions for that best taste. Coconut need not be roasted nicely just put all together and make a paste. Don’t grind this thovayal fine it can be little bit coarse. But some will like to be smooth in whatever way you do it just tastes perfect. Each ingredient to be roasted should be done perfectly to get a nice soul full dish every time. Being simple does not means to compromise in taste its too good when served with hot rice with a dollop of ghee its just heavenly.
