Equipment

  • 2 Cups Mint Leaves Tightly Packed
  • 1 tablespoon Split Bengal Gram (Channa Dal / Kadalaparuppu)
  • 1 tablespoon Urad Dal
  • 3 Red Chili
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Adjust As Needed
  • ½ teaspoon Tamarind Paste or a Pinch of Tamarind
  • 1 teaspoon Oil

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add bengal gram, urad dal and red chili. Fry the dals till it turns golden brown. Take these fried dal and chili to mixer jar
  • In the same pan, add washed mint leaves and mix the leaves till all the moisture is absorbed
  • Take the mint leaves to mixer jar. Add salt and tamarind paste.
  • Grind everything to a coarse paste without adding water. Thogayal should be thicker. So add water only if needed. Also the texture should be coarse and not so smooth.
  • Pudina Thogayal is now ready to serve with hot steaming rice!

Notes

  1. We can add more tamarind and grind it to more smooth paste and fry the paste in oil and make like a thokku
