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👍

That thogayal looks fabulous Raks and this is the one I'm used to at home too but like your MIL, mine makes the one with paasiparuppu. You are so right about it being great with vathal kuzhambu.
That's a nice way of making tomato rasam - different. WIll try sometime.

I love Paruppu togeyal. Last time I tried it, it sucked. I will try your version!
Raaga
I like the addition of garlic to the thogayal. 🙂
you could send the tomato rasam to the JFI Cilantro event.
Sujatha
I make the exact same way!! That thogayal looks super delciious girl! Can I have a scoop of it? 🙂
Nags
The 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..

NagsMy MIL bought from Chennai,all the way here to SG

thanks for the recipe,truly enjoyed with rice,,.
Vijay
Oh 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
Thanks 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...
RAKS KITCHEN
Thanks for the feed back Prinyanka!

Hi Rajeswari... I made the toovar thogayal. I have eaten it a long time ago but I carry that taste very clearly. When I read your recipe, I knew I was getting there. I made this. There was a 2 paisa dissatisfaction in the taste. Something was missing. Clearly in handling this I have made some error. Can you help troubleshoot? What could have gone wrong? Broad-broad, I felt the toovar dal was raw-ish. But it really need not be that. I had roasted it well. But do you think when we use cast iron, the dal could get roasted from the outside but from within it can be uncooked? Or should I have added more red chillies?
Pls think over this. I really want to get this right. I love this so much.
Raks Anand
Cast iron is perfect to roast the dal. But make sure you roast in low flame for long time. This ensures dal getting roasted from inside. Being flat, it is very easily browned outside but not roasted inside.
One more thing you can try on top of these is increase one more chilli and add a pinch of tamarind. Say 1/4 tsp. Also do add more garlic or asafoetida to suppress the overpowering flavor of toor dal (not raw I mean). Hope this helps you.
