Different kinds of ingredients can be used for making Theeyal: okra, eggplant or brinjal, small onions, mixed veggies, shrimp etc. This time, I made Theeyal with small or pearl onions. This makes a perfect vegetarian gravy based dish that can be served with rice, chapati, appam, orotti etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/shrimp-in-roasted-coconut-gravy-shrimp-theeyal-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recipe for making prawns or shrimp Theeyal, click here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19195\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/shrimp-theeyal2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/shrimp-theeyal2.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/shrimp-theeyal2-221x200.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/okra-theeyal-or-okra-in-roasted-coconut-gravy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"bookmark noopener\">Okra Theeyal or Okra in Roasted Coconut Gravy<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11094\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/okra-theeyal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/okra-theeyal.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/okra-theeyal-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ulli Theeyal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25132\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Small-onions-in-roasted-coconut-gravy-Ulli-Theeyal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Small-onions-in-roasted-coconut-gravy-Ulli-Theeyal.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Small-onions-in-roasted-coconut-gravy-Ulli-Theeyal-233x200.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking with Thas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ulli Theeyal or Small Onions in roasted coconut gravy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ggszf5vpQbk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
