Pudina thogiyal or mint thogaiyal is very common dish at home and one among the recipe which everybody will eat . So whenever i make simple rasam , rice and a curry i make any thogayal either with coconut or coriander leaves. Enjoy this simple thogayal with Curd Rice or you can mix this with plain hot rice or even have with any Paratha .
The stepwise pictures are taken in my mobile phone. Will update it when i make it next time.
INGREDIENTS:
| MINT LEAVES | 1 CUP (TIGHTLY PACKED) |
| URAD DAL | 2 TBLSP |
| RED CHILLI | 6-7 |
| TAMARIND | A SMALL PIECE |
| SALT | AS NEEDED |
| COCONUT(SCRAPPED) | 2 TBLSP |
| OIL | 1 TSP |
| ASAFOETIDA | 1/4 TSP |
METHOD:
- Clean and wash the mint leaves nicely.
- In a pan, add oil and fry the urad dal, red chillies , asafoetida,tamarind in a medium flame , till the dal turns golden brown. Be careful not to get it burnt.

- Switch of the flame and add the mint leaves to this and saute this in the pan heat for few minutes. Add coconut to this and when it is completely cool, grind this into a thick thogayal . Grind this into a fine paste. You can add 1 tblsp of water while grinding.Do not make it watery like a coconut chutney.
- When done transfer it to a clean and dry box and this can be store in the refrigerator for a week. But always handle it with a clean spoon.
