Paruppu Thogayal Recipe-Thuvaiyal Recipes

June 17, 2013 by PadhuSankar 20 Comments

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.

 

Paruppu Thogayal

How to make Paruppu Thogayal /Lentil thuvaiyal

    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

    Seasoning 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.
