Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut grated
  • 1 tablespoon urad dal
  • a small pinch hing
  • 2 dry red chilli
  • 1 teaspoon tamarind
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oil - add urad dal and red chilies fry till golden brown. Then add tamarind, hing and fry for 2 minutes. Then add coconut.
  • Saute till moisture leaves and slightly browned. Transfer this to a mixer, add required salt, little water and grind it to a semi coarse paste.
  • Serve it with hot steamed rice and rasam and papad - awesome combo!
  • You can also use a teaspoon of chana dal and pepper for variation.

Notes

  • Thogayal is always thick and the texture should be semi coarse not too smooth. So adjust water accordingly.
  • You can temper mustard seeds if you prefer.
  • Adding tamarind adds a nice tangy flavor which I like the most.
