I heard about Kovakkai Thugayal (Tindora Chutney/ Ivy Gourd Thogayal) recipe from one of my relative and immediately decided to prepare this yummy dish. The taste of this kovakkai thogayal is wonderful and we can mix this with rice and little ghee and serve hot with appalam. For most of the thogayal varieties, we follow the conventional method of frying the urad dal and red chilli in oil along with a pinch of asafoetida and then stir-fry the vegetable used for the thogayal and grind everything together with a pinch of tamarind and required salt. But here in this Kovakkai Thogayal, we are including onions and green chilli which really makes this very unique in taste.
Kovakkai Thogayal mixed with hot steaming rice with a spoon of Ghee and Pappad as a side dish makes satisfying lunch
