PUDHINA THOGAYAL//MINT THOGAYAL/MINT CHUTNEY WITH COCONUT


PUDHINA THOGAYAL/MINT THOGAYAL/MINT CHUTNEY WITH COCONUT

Thogayal is a common recipe used in south Indian kitchens, especially in Tamil Nadu. Pudhina Thogayal is among the more popular thogayal versions. Some people savour it with hot rice or served with dosa or idli.

I have made it with little of coconut. You can omit that. What I love in thogayals is there is no need to season/ temper! 

Store in a airtight container in fridge and you can use this for 1 week and best for your lunch box when mixed with steamed rice. Use generous sesame oil when you mix with rice. Simple vadams goes well with this.

AMRITSARI CHOLE MASALA/AMRITSARI CHANNA MASALA

AMRITSARI CHOLE MASALA/AMRITSARI CHANNA MASALA Amritsari Chole  are traditional Amritsar style spicy  Chole  Recipe made using freshly ground  chole  masala. The curry has a slightly darker hue due to tea bags that are used while boiling the  chole . This taste so delicious with battura or roti. I made some black tea, strained it and used that in this recipe. If you have those tea bags, throw few when cooking chana in the pressure cooker. The more tea bags you add the more black your chana will be. But don't use too much, else your chana will be bitter. Hope you will give this try and let me know how it turns out for you.
