Paasiparuppu Thogayal

This was among the very first recipes I got from my MIL, soon after I was married. She told me that my husband loves this thovaiyal and I wrote it down rapidly in my little notebook along with Poli and Paruppu Paayasam which are his other favorites. This is very simple and uses Mung dhal (paasi paruppu) as opposed to the ones made with toor dhal. Goes great with rice & vathal kuzhambu.

Paasi Paruppu (Mung Dhal) Thogayal



Ingredients:
Yellow (Split) Mung Dhal - 1/2 cup
Garlic - 2 small cloves
Dried Red Chillies - 3
Grated Coconut - 2 to 3 tbsp
Curry leaves - few

Asafoetida - a pinch
Salt, to taste
Oil - 1 tsp


Method:
1) Heat oil and toast mung dhal, curry leaves, asafoetida, dried red chillies and garlic cloves till golden.

2) Grind this with coconut and salt with as little water as possible to a thick paste. Mix this with rice and ghee for a comforting meal.

Also, It definitely seems to be award season here in the blogging world and I've been given the Nice matters award by sweet Easy Crafts. Thank you so much EC - it really made my day.


I would like to pass this onto:

TBC of The Budding Cook
Rajitha of Hunger Pangs (who is on a break now)
Seema of My Randap
Richa of As Dear As Salt &
Viji of Vcuisine

for their sweet words of encouragement and support ! :)


I would also like to pass this onto the many people who have left comments on my blog after trying out my recipes - it really gives me a boost and serves as an immense encouragement to continue blogging. Thank you all.

  16. Congrats on ur award...thogayal looks yummy...

  17. I like poli and parippu payasam, but then I have thing for sweet stuff. H makes a fabulous PP but the problem is that he can never make it the same way twice!:-( Want to see your/MIL's version of the PP(or has it been posted already?)
    Paasi paruppu thogayal is something I have never heard of.I should give this a shot. So a thoviayal and a thogayal are essentially the same thing?


    Moving on- Congrats on your well deserved awards(I see that Namratha has something for u). Thanks for thinking of me too.:-)

  28. We don't make this stuff or the toor dal chutney at home, and the one time I tried one of these, it tasted like batter. Yech! But then, I soaked the dal and ground it raw, according to the instructions.

  29. Thanks Asha.. Actually I was the one who asked what he likes. Now, why do we do that when the men don't care what we like? :)

    Thank you Kalai, do give it a shot sometime.

    Seena, that's really good to know. Thanks.

    Nags, Thanks.. :) Hope it does hit the mark.

    Thank you Seema.

    Thank you Sagari and Remya.

    Richa, oh sure.. the others are more elaborate so this is the one I actually make often. Oh I'm very glad to be passing it onto you.

    Ha ha.. true Vimmi & Superchef. How I wish.. Thanks girls for dropping by.

    Thank you Cham... I don't suppose I've had kadalai paruppu thogayal. Do post it sometime.

    Namratha, thank you so much for the award! :) You are such a sweetie.

    Thank you Dhivya.

    Thank you TBC, I will get the paruppu thogayal recipe and send. I tend to make this quite often.

    You are welcome Viji and thanks for your sweet words.

    Same here Jayasree.

    Thank you EC & Lavanya.

    Sig, do let me know if you get a chance to try it. Thank you.

    Thanks Happy Cook, Sagari, Bee and DK.

    Sra, Oh no roasting? That may have given it the raw taste... Try this, if you dare.. :) I know how difficult it is to try something again after such a put-off.

  31. I'm sorry! I make up my own silly abbreviations if the words are too long!:-)
    Laavanya, it was the Parippu Payasam recipe that I was looking for (if possible)- no rush- before Vishu is good enough for me.
