Mixed Thogayal

I am a big fan of thogayal. Thogayal can be mixed with rice or can be used as a side dish for idli, dosa or chaapathi. So I make it in the morning and use it as a side dish for dinner also. This thogyal has all vegetables and the oil used is also very less. This is a healthy and low-fat side dish.
