Parupu ThogayalAt home, we have never made molagu kozhambu without paruppu thogayal. When I was a kid I hated molagu kozhambu and preferred eating paruppu thogayal rice dipping them in a drop of the kozhambu. Even though my taste buds have evolved thru years, I always mix parupu thogayal in my molagu kozhambu rice.

5 tbsp toor dal
2 inches tamarind
1 red chilli
salt to taste
hing 2 dashes
gingely oil 1 tsp
Add oil in a kadai, when it gets hot, add the dal and the rest of the ingredients and fry till golden brown. Transfer to a mixie and first grind it dry. Slowly add water and grind to make a smooth paste. Parupu thogayal has a property of absorbing water unlike the other thogayals. Make it to a smooth paste with a little more water than the other thogayals. It will slowly absorb the excess water on resting. Serve with rice, molagu kozhambu, cabbage/brinjal curry!
