Inji thogayal recipe, how to make ginger thogayal

Inji thogayal recipe without coconut. Easy ginger thogayal with ginger, green chilli, urad dal and tamarind as main ingredients.

In childhood we all hate ginger and it’s same with me. But after I started cooking, I found it is really flavourful and appetizing. Be it in a simple ginger tea or in upma, poha, vadai etc. I add in all possible while tempering. Chopped it really fine, that it doesn’t comes in mouth and just lends its flavour.

I have not tasted ginger thogayal right from my childhood. But after marriage, Have seen MIL make ginger thogayal few times. She makes a quick and simpler version, just by grinding ginger, green chilli, tamarind and salt. Yes that’s it and no cooking involved. Vj loves this a lot. After coming here to Singapore, I tried a ginger thogayal with coconut and involves cooking. But he told the one my MIL makes is best.

So after that, I never tried the process of cooking ginger, just grind the same way my MIL does. This year when I went, my MIL did the same thogayal but with coconut, so that it gives volume. But I always felt I should try again making the way I do other thogayals, so that the ginger is not too raw and harsh.ginger-thogayal


Today tried it, just that replaced red chilli with green chillies. It turned out really good. After all the hogging we did these many days in the name of Diwali, this is a much needed one.
