Paruppu Thuvayal / Lentil based chutney step by step

  1. Take a kadaai, keep it on medium high heat. Add oil/ghee, once it gets heated up add toor dal and salt and saute them until the dal turns brown..

  2. Transfer this to a blender and add little water. And grind. Itll be very coarse, add some more water and grind it again, check for the consistency as shown in the pic above..

These are thick chutneys that are served as accompaniments to rice and 'dal' (meaning a wet curry to be mixed with rice).

Thogayals are normally quite spicy - therefore.

Paruppu Thogayal is a traditional chutney recipe that goes very well with rice.

Paruppu Thuvaiyal and vatha kuzhambu along with papad is a wonderful combo.

It is a good alternative to the usual kuzhambu and poriyal combo.
