Thengai Thuvayal

Today My Anu asked for this recipe and thought I would blog this.
This is kind of chutney made with Coconut but is eaten with cooked rice and not as a side dish to Dosa or Idli.
This will be very tasty when eaten with fried Appalams  (Tamilian's    Pappads)

Ingredients
  1. Fresh Grated coconut 1 Cup  (  Gratings of one side of a medium size coconut)
  2. Urad Dal  Ulutham paruppu  1 and 1/2 Table spoons.
  3. Red (dried) Chillies   2 or 3 
  4. Little Quantity of Asafetida   (Ing or perungayam)
  5. Oil  just 1/2 to 1 t  spoon for frying
  6. Tamarind/Imli/puli  very small quantity,  if paste less than 1/4 t spoon.
  7. Salt to taste
Method.

Fry Urad  Dal, Red Chillies, and   Ing,      in  oil in a Kadai or a  thick bottomed vessel.

When Urad dal turns brown add the Imli and salt and switch off the stove.  (While frying Urad dal, you can add a t spoon of  Channa Dal  (kadalai paruppu,   but the colour of the Thuvayal will  be more reddish.)

Now Powder this in the Mixer and add fresh grated coconut to this , add little water and make it into a paste like consistency the consistency of chutney or Thuvayal. 


The dish is ready.     Remove from Mixer and Eat it  with Hot Cooked Rice.
