What is Kadayal (Kadaiyal)?

Kadayal is a traditional south Indian cooking technique used for preparing vegetarian side dishes. Like the cooking technique to boil, stir-fry, shallow fry, and deep fry, kadayal is the traditional method of cooking. It is a popular technique used across Indian cuisines, especially Tamil cuisine.

Kadayal is a Tamil word used for mashing cooked ingredients together. For the kadayal dish, a special clay pot vessel and wooden masher are used. Inside the clay pots, they are either stoned or rough-surfaced. Here below, I've shared the image of my stoned clay pot and wooden masher.
