    Kerala Style Katti Parippu Recipe with step by step pictures. This is made with Toor Dal, Coconut and Ghee. This can be served with rice.

    Katti Paruppu

    This is the dal which we make atleast thrice a week. I don't know how i missed it to post here. I have posted a basic southindian dal recipe here, but this one the staple dish in our home. Amma makes it most of the day and this gets it place on several occasions.

    This dal is meant to be on the thicker side. And traditionally we mix this with a plateful of cooked hot rice, drizzled with a tsp of desi ghee and crack a fried papadum and mix the whole thing together. Then form them into small dumplings and enjoy it. This is even given to toddlers and kids relish it so much.

    Ingredients for Katti Paruppu

    • Toor Dal / Tuvaram Paruppu - 1 cup
    • Turmeric Powder / Manjal Podi - 1 tsp
    • Asafoetida / Hing / Kaya Podi - ¼ tsp
    • Salt to taste
    For Grinding:
    • Coconut - ½ cup
    • Dry Red Chilli - 2
    • Garlic - 2 cloves
    • Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp
    For Tempering:
    • Ghee or Oil - 1 tsp
    • Mustard Seeds / Kaduku - 1 tsp
    • Curry leaves - 1 spring
