Hai Friends..Happy Saturday..Hope you all are enjoying your weekends..Today I made Chocolate Rolls with a special stuffing in the center..And that is a suspense, I will post it in the coming week. So wait for it..Now coming back to today’s recipe..
I am with another favorite recipe of mine. Amma makes paruppu urundai kulambu often and actually we calls it as “Urundai Kulambu”. She makes it entirely different and I will post the recipe soon. I saw this recipe in internet and was so eager to make it. The dumplings in this recipe is not the softer ones, it makes denser dumplings..And they are perfect to mix with rice and eat.
I will make the softer ones too and post it..I have a version of iyengar paruppu urundai kulambu too which I got from one of my friend. I have plans to post that too..So hope you can see so many paruppu urundai kulambu here in future..
Now off you go and check this version of this exotic gravy..
Ingrediants:
For Lentil Dumplings:
Toor Dal / Tuvaram Paruppu / Split Pigeon Peas – 1 cup
Onion – 1 chopped
Ginger – 1 inch piece
Garlic – 6 cloves
Green Chilli-1
Fennel Seeds / Saunf / Sombu-1 tsp

Onion – 1 large chopped
Tomato-3 chopped

Coriander Powder / Malli Podi -1 tblspn
Turmeric Powder / Manjal Podi -1 tsp
Fennel Seeds / Saunf / Sombu -1 tblspn
Salt to taste
Coconut – ½ cup ground
Oil – 3 tblspn
Method:
Soak toor dal for 2 hours, drain it. Grind all ingrediants given for dumplings into a coarse paste. Form small dumplings out of it and arrange it in a steam plate. Steam this for 15-20 mins untill cooked through. Remove this and set aside until ready to use.
Grind all ingrediants given in the gravy list except oil and coconut.
Heat oil in a wide pan and add the masala in this..Cook this until oil separates from this, this will take around 10-15 mins.
Now add the ground coconut in this along with enough water to make a sauce.
Bring it to boil and drop the steamed dumplings in this. Simmer it for 10-15 mins untill the dumplings absorb all flavours and oil separates from the gravy.
Switch off the flame and let it stand for 30 mins so that the flavours will mingle together.
Serve hot with rice.
