Thogayal takes an important place in Tamilnadu cuisine, it pairs well with lemon rice, tamarind rice and sometimes a small portion is kept with the full lunch spread too. I usually prepare this paruppu thogayal recipe / paruppu thuvayal recipe with tomato rasam, pepper rasam and believe me it tastes tongue smacking. Sometimes if I want to make the meal quick and simple, my first preference is this combo only…..
