Inji Thogayal (Ginger Thogayal)
I made inji thogayal yesterday for lunch. My idea was to serve it with idly, but it was a very simple side dish for rasam too.
Grated or chopped ginger - 2 tbps
Urad dhal - 1/4 cups
Red chillies - 3 or 4
marble-sized amount of tamarind (soak this in a tbsp of water)
freshly grated coconut - 3tbps
4-5 curry leaves
asafoetida a pinch
Dry roast the urad dhal and red chillies along with asafoetida. Once cooled, coarsely grind it first. Then add all the other ingredients along with enough salt and water. Adding raw curry leaves changes the whole taste and aroma of the dish.
"Super delicious Mommy", said my eight-year-old critic. Suuuuper deelicious !!!!!!!!!!

My first post in my first blog
For a longtime I've been reading blogs on Indian cooking and wanted to create one. At the sametime I didn't want it to be yet another blog. Hope I could live upto it.
