Priandai Thuvaiyal/ chutney - 2 Types | Adamant Creeper Chutney

Pirandai thogayal with step by step pictures.

After posting sweet dishes for Diwali here I am with a healthy thogayal which can be mixed up with rice or can be served for idli/dosa. If using for idli/dosa slightly make it dilute with some water.Here I have posted two types of making it in which one is with coconut and the other without. For one without coconut I sourced it from here and for other, I tried my own version.

Pirandai/ adamant creeper is a health which has enormous health benefits. Growing this herb is very easy and doesn't need much maintenance. Just keep it in your pot and it will automatically grow.

Check my Pirandai idli post for detailed cleaning procedure. Only the cleaning process is time-consuming and all other procedures are quick.
