MMM...MMM...MMM...Am smelling the aroma of the kathirikai Thogayal,I just prepared. I always end up in creating a simple one yet yummy. Whenever I shop at Indian store, I get eggplant thinking of it to make baigan bartha. But , for a change, I thought to make it as Thogaiyal. You can mix it with rice or make it a side dish for dosai and idly also. Here is the one.
Ingredients:
Eggplant - 1
Tamarind - quarter size of lemon
Mustard - 1 spn
Urad dal/ulutham parupu - 1/2 spn
Long Red Chillies- 2-3
Coriander leaves- 1/2 cup
Curry leaves
Ginger- a little piece
Asafoetida - a pinch
Method:
1)Massage the oil on the eggplant and microwave it for 8-10 mts, till it becomes soft.
Place is aside and let it cool for 10 minutes.
2)By that time, in a Kadai with oil,add
*Long red chillies,
*Coriander leaves,
*Tamarind,
*Curry leaves,
*Ginger
3)Once the fry is done, switch off the flame. Peel the cooled eggplant and take the inside part and put in the mixie along with the fries ones.Grind it with water.
Atlast, temper with mustard and urad dal:)
Ta---Da...Kathirikai Thogayal is done!

Hey Anu,
For thogaiyal, u need to fry mustard seeds and urad dal along with red chillis before grindig and then u need to grind it along with other items. Seasoning is not a must for thogaiyal.
