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.

• Toor Dal / Tuvaram Paruppu - 1 cup
