Cook time: 10 Minutes

Total time: 20 Minutes

INGREDIENTS
1cup = 250ml

To roast n grind Mint leaves/pudina leaves – 1 cup (tightly packed) Red chillies - 5 nos Urad dal - 1 tbsp Jaggery – 1/4 tsp Tamarind - Big gooseberry size Salt - as needed

METHOD

Wash mint leaves. Heat a  kadai with a tbsp of oil and fry the red chillies & urad dal.Remove & in the same oil fry the mint leaves for a minute so that it will be shrinked and get reduced in quantity. This gives a special flavour to the thogayal . Soak tamarind in little water. Now grind the red chillies,urad dal,soaked tamarind with salt to a coarse mixture.Then add the mint leaves and grind to a smooth paste adding the required water. Remove and serve with plain rice topped with gingely oil . If u want to grind in large quantities and store , u have to follow the next step. Else stop with this step & enjoy. Heat a kadai with little gingely oil ( 1 tbsp )and put the thogayal into it. The water content in it will be absorbed and becomes thick , heat it for a while. It can be refrigerated and kept for 10 days. But this step is purely optional. U can enjoy this thogayal without sauting in oil. But shelf life will be reduced.. For variations u can skip urad dal and add a tbsp of  grated coconut  while grinding.

YUMMY MINT THOGAYAL is ready to be served with hot rice & tiffin. Enjoy adding sesame oil..
