Paruppu Thogayal / Paruppu Thuvaiyal
This is a very simple & healthy Thuvaiyal recipe. My Mil used to make this Paruppu Thogayal with Kara Kuzhambu or Vatral Kuzhambu on holidays. Mmmm…it’s a delectable combination…;)) Also it tastes best when paired with idly & dosa. This thogayal is almost like chutney, that is in thick consistency. It is made of lentils, spices and coconut. Try this tasty authentic recipe & enjoy…
