Notes

1.You can use use coconut scrapings while grinding the thogayal.                                                        

2.You can use only pepper corns or only red chillies while sauteing,i used both for colour.                   

3.This thogayal tastes best with hot rice with ghee,so eat it piping hot to enjoy the flavour fully.
