Maasi Karuvadu Thovayal / Pounded Dry Fish Thogayal

Maasi thovayal is a quick and no cook side dish. It is almost as same as chutneys except that you are adding the dried fish. I remember at our homes they used to pound the dried fish pieces in a manual stone grinder and prepare this thovayal. Nowadays we get the ready made processed maasi in supermarkets which makes the work a lot easier.
