Curry leaves is most omitted part of the food and many a times it is thrown out from food.Curry leaves are loaded with iron and calcium and is very good for hair growth.It has a fresh aroma and adds taste and flavour to the dish it goes in.I like curry leaves and this thogayal can be a great accompaniment to rice in place of any usual gravies.It is easy to make and can be stored in fridge for 2-3 days.Since it has dal and chilles it will add a nice crunch while eating.Scroll down below for a nice aromatic curry leaf thogayal recipe..
