KODUKAPULI THOGAYAL, CHUTNEY, MANILA TAMARIND THOGAYAL, CHUTNEY


I have already posted  kodukapuli curry, sweet tamarind curry, chinch curry, manila tamarind curry recently. Kodukapuli thogayal or chutney is made with kodukapuli.  During summer season you get plenty of this in the market, the local vendors selling it.  I happened to the market yesterday and bought  it with a plan to make pickle and thogayal out of it as I had already posted the curry recipe recently.  Today I made chutney, thogayal out of it and was liked by everyone.  This is the season we can purchase the kodukapuli and I loved it.  Though it has got a bland taste, with the dal and coconut, it tastes awesome and can be served with dal rice, curd rice and with roti too.
