Kovakkai Thogayal | கோவக்காய் தொவையல் | Kovakkai Thuvaiyal | Tindora Thogayal

Kovakkai Thogayal is a spicy rice accompaniment from Andhra cuisine. I have already posted Kovakkai Chutney recipe. The main difference between chutney and thogayal is that, chutney is served as an tiffin accompaniment. Whereas, Thogayal is coarsely grounded and served with steamed rice. 

 Ingredients :-

 Onion (roughly chopped)    1  
 Garlic   3 pods  
 Red chillies   6
