Thengai thugayal

I remember the days when we returned from a travel or a time that required   urgency in cooking all that we would end up in making is thengai thugayal and melagu rasam.Its really a delicious combo. On this kanum pongal day I made thengai thugayal as it would suite the combo of mixed rice varieties.  You can also have this dish with moor kulambu. Here goes the recipe of thengai thugayal…
