Chutney & Thogayal

Thogayal or thuvayal is a south-indian condiment made with lentils and spices. Whereas chutney’s made to pair with idly/dosa not necessarily include lentils.

If you are a regular reader here, you must have noticed that I have a long list of thogayal varieties in my blog. Thogayal or thuvayal it is pronounced locally, adds such a texture and flavor to a normal meal.

A detailed South-Indian meal always includes thuvayal, many mostly start their meal with thogayal mixed with rice with a generous drizzle of either ghee or gingely oil.

As a south-indian we love our thogayal/thuvayal. Growing up in my parents home, our Saturday menu used to be thogayal/thuvayal and rasam. A colorful carrot thogayal with a simple milagu rasam is a delicious combination.

Why try this Turmeric & ginger thuvayal?

Fresh turmeric, a vibrant ingredient in south-indian cooking. We get loads of fresh turmeric during Pongal/Sankranti, around January. The earthy flavor and the bright unadulterated color of this beautiful rhizome is something which we don't get all the year through.

This fresh turmeric & ginger thogayal is the best way to enjoy these fresh ingredients without much of cooking. Both fresh turmeric and ginger has loads of health benefits and when paired with the right spices they taste perfect.

The color of the fresh turmeric along with the zingy punch of ginger is married pretty well with the rest of spices and it tastes amazing when paired with rice and ghee. This colorful rice mix chutney can also be adjusted to pair with idly/dosa.

If using for idly/dosa, then add little more water and grind, whereas if using as rice accompaniment, grind it thick as mentioned in the recipe below.

Ingredients for making this Turmeric & Ginger Chutney

  • Fresh Turmeric & ginger, the hero of this Thuvayal recipe.
  • Spices, I have used black peppercorns and red chilies to spice the chutney. Peppercorns are optional, one can omit them.
  • Coconut, freshly grated or frozen, do not skip coconut, they add flavor and also binds other flavors together.
  • Dal, I have used chana dal and urad dal, they add volume to the chutney
  • Sesame seeds and coriander seeds, as said earlier, they add a nice texture to the thogayal
  • Tamarind, I normally used dried tamarind. If using tamarind paste, use accordingly.

Equipment

  • Indian style mixie or any heavy blender

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon urad dal
  • 1 tablespoon Chana dal
  • a pinch of hing
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
  • 3 no’s red chilies
  • A small gooseberry sized tamarind
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh turmeric skin scrapped
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh ginger skin scrapped
  • 4 tablespoon fresh coconut
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a Kadai/pan, dry roast urad dal, Chana dal, coriander and white sesame seeds. I usually add the white sesame and red chilies  just before turning off the stove, so it gets nice and toasty in the residue heat. Remove the roasted ingredients to a flat plate and let this cool
  • Now in the same pan, add a teaspoon of oil and sauté the chopped ginger and fresh turmeric for 2-3 minutes. Remove the sautéed ingredients on to a plate, let it cool.
  • Take all the ingredients together along with coconut, tamarind and salt in mixer grinder and grind it to a fine/a little coarse paste by adding 2-4 tablespoon of water.
  • Do not add add water in the beginning, first pulse together then add a tablespoon if water at a time and grind. 
  • Remove the chutney/thogayal onto a serving bowl and serve it along with steaming hot rice and ghee or along with your idly dosa. You can also use it in wraps/rolls as a base chutney.

    Never heard about this thogayal before. Had few pieces of fresh turmeric that i bought for pongal, don't know what to do with that. This thogayal sounds perfect to give a try. Does it have the raw smell of turmeric??

    What a wonderful way to use both fresh turmeric and fresh ginger to make a thogayal. Have a bit of fresh turmeric so will be making this versatile chutney to enjoy with rice, parathas and idli too.

    We love thogayal at home .I have some left over fresh manjal from Pongal and definitely this is on my list now . Fresh inji and manjal have so much flavor and aroma in them naturally and when that gets converted to thogayal then it is nothing short of paramanandam.
