My Pati's Toghaiyal

This one you like. You can make all kinds if toghaiyal. Some dal (chana+urad or only urad or only tho or as in paruppu thogaiyal)

This one is one if many my pati used to make. She knew I loved it. She would even make from peels if vegetables- pumpkin, gourds... You have to get the flavor right. Kind of umami. Sweet, sour, salt, heat, some freshness.

Ingredients ( for the one I made today. Feel free to improvise. You should.)
Chana dal
Urad dal
Kadi patta
Green chilli
Hing
Tomato
Ginger
Tamarind
Gud

And it certainly classifies as lazy. Okay.
 Heat 2tbsp oil. Put the Dals. Hung. Roast. Chilli. Kadi patta. Ginger. 30 seconds. Tomato. Doesn't have to be roasted much. Salt. Jaggery(gud). Switch off. Microwave a bit if tamarind with water. Squeeze out the liquid onto other ingredients. Add little bit of water. Soak for about 10 and grind.
Have with hotrice and ghee.
