'Theeyal' the word literally means 'burnt'. In this curry coconut used is roasted till it gets the dark colour and made as a paste. Due to that the curry get the darker colour. I love this curry because we donot feel the sliminess of the vendakka in this dish.
Venakka is a nutritious vegetable.

People hates this veggies because of the sliminess. This curry is slightly tangy and the roasted coconuts gives colour and extra flavour to this dish. Roasted flavour is the highlight of this dish.
