PARUPPU THOGAYAL , TOMATO RASAM
paruppu thogayal:
This is how my mom and mom-in-law makes paruppu thogayal
. Usually paruppu thogayal will be in the menu if they make vatral kuzhambu...which is the best combo
.
My mom-in-law makes another variety of paruppu thogayal,which uses moong dal and coconut...
,which I will blog some other time.
Till I got married my mom used to grind this in ammi kallu...
which,tastes the best!But now a days,we use mixer for grinding.
Ingredients:
| Thoor dal/Thuvaram paruppu | 1/2 cup |
| Red chillies | 3 nos |
| Garlic(small variety) | 3 flakes |
| Salt | As needed |
| Oil | few drops(for frying,optional) |
Method:
- Fry dhal with red chillies,with little oil till golden brown.
2. Cool down and grind it to a coarse paste with added salt,peeled garlic(i used small variety,use only one if u use the big flakes) and required.
3.To eat with rice,mix this paste with rice and little sesame oil or you can have as an accompaniment for vatral kuzhambu rice or curd rice!.
You can add 2 tblsps of coconut while grinding,that will give you an enhanced taste!
TOMATO Rasam:
I ate tomato rasam at Sangeeta's place first and liked very much,the tangy taste and flavor of tomato
.Then I decided to try on my own as I usually make garlic rasam and paruppu rasam always!
. Then I made some changes according to my convenience and taste and now a days I like this very much!
Ingredients:
| Red ripe tomatoes | 3 nos.,big |
| Tamarind extract | 1 tblsp (thick) |
| Rasam powder | 1/2 tblsp aprox. |
| Curry leaves | 1 sprig |
| Coriander leaves | 1-2 tblsp |
| Salt | As needed |
| Sugar | 1/2 tsp |
To temper:
| Mustard | 1 tsp |
| Red chillies | 2-3 nos. |
| Jeera | 1 tsp |
| Curry leaves | 1/2 tsp |
| Ghee | 2 tsp |
Method:
- Soak tamarind in hot water and extract the juice and keep aside.
- Chop the tomatoes and keep aside.
- Heat kadai and temper with the tempering items,given in the "To Temper" table.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to it,with salt and fry for 4-5 minutes in medium flame.
- After it become mushy and the raw smell goes,add 3 cups water,curry leaves torn and the tamarind extract.
- Boil for 4-5 minutes.
- Lastly add the rasam powder,sugar and just boil for a minute or two.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or just enjoy as soup!!

That thogayal looks fabulous Raks and this is the one I'm used to at home too but like your MIL, mine makes the one with paasiparuppu. You are so right about it being great with vathal kuzhambu.
That's a nice way of making tomato rasam - different. WIll try sometime.

Hi i am visiting ur blog first time , pictures are soo good and yah rasam and thogayal nice combination. I too do same type. I will visit ur blog regularly
This is a nice,tangy and yummy rasam.
Good photos.
making rasam this way is quite new to me..ie adding chopped tomatoes,make them mushy and then adding water....will try this way next time...by the way what rasam powder do you use Raji???any brand or home-made???
Raaji,I used Sakthi rasam powder powder here :)
Both of these dishes look outstanding and delicious.
Lovely combo.. Would make a perfect meal with some fried papad on side.. :)
Awesome pictures. Lovely combination. I am g8 fan of rasam. Thogayal looks perfect.
STUNNING pics!
Thanks for leaving a note about the plaigarism of manchurian pic.
paruppu thogayal and rasam look awesome. loved ur doble beans poriyal too.
I love Paruppu togeyal. Last time I tried it, it sucked. I will try your version!
I like the addition of garlic to the thogayal. :)
you could send the tomato rasam to the JFI Cilantro event.
I make the exact same way!! That thogayal looks super delciious girl! Can I have a scoop of it? :)
The paruppu thogayal looks so yumm and easy to make. But tell me, where do you get the small garlic flakes I see in the pics? In SG, I only see the big China poondu which is not very flavourful..
NagsMy MIL bought from Chennai,all the way here to SG
Lovely combination.. Makes me drool..
very intersting recipes, mouth watering too!I'm always game for rasam! Nice clicks!
Paruppu thogayal is my family fav :)..love your version..coz its slightly dif from what I make..the combo is a hit at my home :)..comforting and easy to make too..:)
yummy combination, I like paruppu thovayal with kattu sore and lemon rice too :) it's been avery long time since I did it, thanks for reminding :)
you're right ammi kallu taste- ye special dhanne :)
I also like the dish in which you've presented the thuvayal :)
thanks for the recipe,truly enjoyed with rice,,.
Oh for that thogayal, pls dont add garlic directly. It screwed up. Please also fry garlic with dhal and chilli & then grind it all together.
Thanks for the suggestion Vijay,but this is how my mom and MIL makes and we all love that...If you dont like the raw garlic smell,then u can modify like that...
Thanks for the feed back Prinyanka!
