    Today I made this thuvayal and had it with Kanji. Delicious and really good aroma!

  5. I tried your ellu thuvaiyal yesterday. I used white variety as I happened to have it on hand. It was awesome. My daughter who loves peanut chutney thought it was peanut chutney. What a great healthy substitute. Thank you.
