Onion Thogayal | Vengaya Thogayal
Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe
Onion Thogayal, a perfect blend of sweetness from onion, spice from red chili, and sourness from Tamarind. Normally we do sambar and other varieties of kuzhambu very often which uses tamarind, dal and sometimes coconut. Sometimes I feel bored of using these regular recipes and really wanted to do some light meal. Onion Thogayal is one variety which I love to make as I always love to have spicy dish. Onion thogayal with Bittergourd/Ladysfinger stir-fry or with simple sutta appalam/Pappad great combination for our appetite.

 

We can serve Vengaya Thogayal with hot steaming rice along with a teaspoon of sesame oil or we can serve as an accompaniment for Idli/Dosa. This recipe is much similar to the Onion chutney. For Chutney we don't use Bengal gram dal, also consistency of chutney is thin and smooth. Also Chutney can be served only as an accompaniment but thogayal can be mixed with rice too.
