Coconut Chutney & its varieties

Today for the fifth day of BM, i choose Coconut Chutney.. Almost all of us know the recipe for this chutney right.. Then why i am i posting this?? The reason being everyone does this chutney & its indispensable part of our households, yet each house has a different taste to it..isnt it? The ones at home taste different, from the ones in hotel .. the ones at wedding is again a different one..so today i thought i would share the recipe of what we love at home & make often :)

Pudina Thogayal/Mint Paste

Today i start Valli's BM #15 & this time its going to be 7 days of Accompaniments! For the very first day i choose Pudina or Mint Thogayal...I am just thinking how can i best describe a Thogayal :).. A thicker version of chutney maybe???..Hmmm..not exactly doesn't taste like chutney really! Thick as a dip..true! The base of a thogayal (pronounced as Tho-ga-yal) is mainly lentils & chillies.. 

Paruppu Thogayal / Yellow Lentils Chutney

Its been a very busy day for me today..it doesn't really happen often off late, so i won't be complaining! Just missed blogging & thought will post a easy breezy one before i call it a day!

Thenga/Coconut Thogayal

Thogayal is an ultimate comfort food for me! Its super easy to make and a good welcome change from the usual sambhar's. After a long day or after a long journey, when you are hungry and need something tasty 'quickly', this is the saver :). Amma would prepare this, make garlic rasam & vazhakai(raw banana) karamedu and i would love it...
