This is a very simple recipe which goes well with rice and jeera rasam. It is so easy to make and is also good for health. This is an authentic Tamil brahmin recipe. Whenever I prepare this, I make jeera rasam and vegetable curry or just any vegetable kootu to go along with it. Today let us learn how to prepare paruppu thogayal following this easy recipe.

    Hi 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
