Peerkangai thogayal is our favorite.. I roast channadal, urad dal (equal ratio) red chilly, Hing, Till, curry leaf in little coconut oil.. Then sauté the peerkangai (peeled ) in little coconut oil.. We can add mint and cilantro too. I just sauté that mildly too.. Then powder the dry stuff first with tamarind and salt..after powdering that then add peerkangai , cilantro and mint.
