Pudhina Thogayal

My small little mint bed has grown a lot and I wanted to use them
fresh. My MIL makes pudhina thogayal very often. This is comfort food and a good accompaniment for idli, dosa, curd rice, or any variety rice when we travel. The sourness of the tamarind and the freshness of mint is absolutely finger-licking. I have even seen some having it for Poori. Mix the thogayal with rice and have it, believe me, it's very yummy. Why not, when everyone has a different taste to their food choices.
