Directions

We can make thogayal with plain dal and spices or just with coconut and spices. Also we can use many veggies to make thogayal. We can use chow chow (Chayote squash), Ridge gourd, Pumpkin, brinjal etc. Beetroot thogayal is also one of the delicious thogayal variety made with beetroot along with spices.

Thogayal is one of the easiest recipe we can make quickly without complex procedures and with hot steaming rice, thogayal tastes divine. Thogayal with sutta appalam (Toasted papad) is one of the yummiest South Indian Food. Still some of you may not like thogayal because they feel its very dry but with little sesame oil or ghee, thogayal tastes much yummier than we think. For more thogayal varieties click here.
