PARRUPU THOGAIYAL RECIPE

  Paruppu  thogaiyal | Paruppu thuvaiyal is a traditional recipe made using toor dal and black pepper as main ingredients, recipe given with step by step pictures. Paruppu thogayal is one of my favourite  and i love to have this with hot plain rice or for Vathakuzhambu sadam. Generally in many tamil brahmin houses it is made for Pathiyam, post partam food. We can add garlic pods in this to make it garlic flavored paruppu thogayal. Amma always makes it with Milagu kuzhambu.
