Directions
Priya Sateesh is a versatile blogger and for this edition of Recipe swap challenge run by Jolly Makkar and Vidya Narayana, I am paired with Priya. There are so many recipes that I would love to cook from her space and one such is her thogayal/ chutney varieties. Being a madrasi, the love for thogayal is imminent and I decided to cook her Keerai Thogayal. Since she gave the option of palak instead of amaranth greens, I cooked with palak and made this lovely green Palak thogayal.
Palak Thogayal
Palak thogayal is a beautiful green chutney that is almost like thengai thogayal or coconut thogayal that we cook regularly. In addition to the thengai , we have used palak as one of the main ingredients. I have used red chillies in the recipe instead of green chillies, you can make this thogayal with green chillies too. I ground it a little coarse and served it with hot rice and kootu. It was a perfect light meal for us
