A simple paruppu thogayal recipe with toor dal, without coconut. South Indian accompaniment for rice. Goes best with vathal kuzhambu, rasam.
This is how my mom and mom-in-law makes paruppu thogayal🙂. Usually paruppu thogayal will be in the menu if they make vatral kuzhambu…which is the best combo😍.
My mom-in-law makes another variety of paruppu thogayal,which uses moong dal and coconut…😎,which I will blog some other time.
Till I got married my mom used to grind this in ammi kallu…😏 which, tastes the best! But now a days,we use mixer for grinding. No other go, we have to adapt to this living👍

April 18, 2009 at 2:52 amI like the addition of garlic to the thogayal. 🙂
you could send the tomato rasam to the JFI Cilantro event.
Sujatha
April 18, 2009 at 4:53 pmI make the exact same way!! That thogayal looks super delciious girl! Can I have a scoop of it? 🙂
Nags
April 20, 2009 at 3:41 amThe paruppu thogayal looks so yumm and easy to make. But tell me, where do you get the small garlic flakes I see in the pics? In SG, I only see the big China poondu which is not very flavourful..

August 23, 2010 at 11:26 amOh for that thogayal, pls dont add garlic directly. It screwed up. Please also fry garlic with dhal and chilli & then grind it all together.
RAKS KITCHEN
August 23, 2010 at 11:28 amThanks for the suggestion Vijay,but this is how my mom and MIL makes and we all love that…If you dont like the raw garlic smell,then u can modify like that…
