Coconut Thogayal | தேங்காய் தொவையல் | Coconut Thovayal

Coconut Thogayal is a tasty & quick rice accompaniment which does not require any cooking and can be prepared in 3 minutes on a lazy day. Whenever DH is not taking lunch, I will feel very lazy to cook. Immediately, I will call up mom and ask for a quick recipe. She would suggest some simple recipe and that's how I got this recipe. This is my favorite childhood recipe. 

Ingredients :-
-------------------

Grated Coconut	½ cup
Roasted gram(Pottukadalai)	1 tbsp
Tamarind	small gooseberry size
Garlic	3 pods
Curry leaves	few
Red chillies	6
Hing	Pinch
Salt	to taste

Method :- 
-------------
1). Grind everything together to a thick and coarse paste. Do not add too much water. 

Top the thogayal with a dollop of ghee and serve it with steamed rice and appalam or poriyal.  

Notes :-
-----------
# Thogayal's consistency should be thick and semi coarse so add only little water and grind it coarsely.
# If you have left over thogayal store it in the fridge or dilute in water and use it as a sidedish for Dosa/Idli varieties. 
# If you are calorie conscious, use gingelly oil instead of ghee.
