January 19, 2016 at 7:30 amHi Padhu,
I did not know we could add kadala paruppu to thuvaram paruppu.
I will try this.
I add some tamarind when I grind this thugayal just to give a sour taste.
Your recipe does not mention about tamarind.
Also seasoning is not mentioned here.
May be all these are just optional for taste.
Please let me know.
Thanks, Mahalakshmi

January 19, 2016 at 7:46 amSeasoning is not required for this thuvaiyal. You can add a small piece of tamarind after sauteing the dal. It will enhance the taste of the thogayal.
