Thogayal
is a kind of thick condiment made in Tamil nadu often eaten with steamed rice.
You can also eat it as side dish with dosa/idly also.
Carrot is a nutrition rich vegetable. This thick chutney/thogayal is a good
replacement for other usual chutneys. When I am really in short of time I make
this along with papad and it is a hit combo. The color, flavor, consistency -
all were so perfect that I couldn't help but just dig into it with a spoon. If
you want full meals, make one rasam along with this and you are good to go.Yes,
you can use this recipe as a rice mix, as a side for roti/flatbread (or) with
any south-Indian breakfast items. You can even use it as a spread in
sandwich. This is a great recipe that you can share with & surprise your
family and friends.

Notes
this tastes great when some pieces of carrots are there. Do not grind to very smooth paste.
Sometimes I add one tomato and avoid tamarind.
