I and my sister am big fans of Bisi bele bath and biryani. Whenever Amma makes a special dish the next day she mostly prepares Thengai thogayal and Milagu siraga rasam. Thengai thogayal is my comfort food. If you are following me on IG, in my daily feed you would have seen Thengai thogayal frequently. I recently realized that I haven’t posted Thuvaiyal in my blog. Since I was posting theme-based dishes I was waiting for this month to post. Traditional South Indian recipes like this need to be posted so that I won’t keep calling Amma for the proportion. https://youtu.be/wBhz3LXEhmk Whenever you are looking for something super fast and yummy, thuvaiyal is one great option to consider. With sesame oil/ ghee, Thengai thogayal tastes great with any side dish, even Appalam. I like thogayal with Onion Vetha kuzhambu.
