Thenga thogayal is not the same as Coconut Chutney. Thogayals almost always have Urad dal, red chillies and tamarind in it. Thenga Thogayal is usually eaten with rice. Mix with rice and eat with some dry side dish. I love it with idli and dosa. So I make as a side for Dosa/Idli.
Ingredients
Coconut 2 cups
Urad dal 1/4 cup
Red Chilli 4
Mustard 1/2 tsp
Tamarind 1 tsp
Hing a little
Oil and salt to taste
Method of Preparation
1. Heat a little oil in a pan. Add Mustard.
2. When it sputters, add urad dal.
3. When it starts to brown, add the red chilli and hing. Let it sizzle for a minute. Add to a mixie.
4. Add coconut, tamarind and salt along with a little water.
5. Grind into a coarse paste.
