Thengai Thogayal|Coconut Thogayal

Thogayals are spicy and thick chutneys usually had with hot rice or idlis and dosas.This thogayal is usually made on the days when they made more kozhmbu in our house.Though nowadays we do not make thengai thogayal  that often we cannot forget the lingering taste  of it so i try to  make it once in a while.
