- Transfer this to a mixer, add required salt, little water and grind it to a semi coarse paste.
- Serve Thengai Thogayal with hot steamed rice and rasam and papad – awesome combo!
Notes
- You can also use a teaspoon of chana dal and pepper for variation.
- 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 flavour which I like the most.
