South Indian Paruppu Kulambu-Pasi Paruppu Kulambu

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

South Indian Paruppu Kulambu – Pasi Paruppu Kulambu. A simple and tasty moong dal preparation which tastes awesome and yet so simple to prepare.

Pasi Paruppu Kulambu means the Moong Dal gravy in Tamil. The moong dal is pretty rich in protein and has a very rich taste to it, apart from the fact that it is pretty easy to cook and doesn’t even need a pressure cooker. Serve it with any kind of rice be it jeera rice or green peas pulao or just plain rice. You can use it as a side dish for Indian Breads like chapati, nan or other bread varieties also. But in that case, you will have to make it a bit more dry and not add too much water.

I love simple dal recipes. They are very tasty and the kids love different variations of it. Whether it is Tomato Dal Recipe-Tomato Pappu Andhra Style recipe or the Simple Toor Dal recipe-How to make simple toor dal recipe. There are plenty of varieties that we can make with different kinds of dals. The options are just so limitless and endless. You will never tire of the variety that are on offer with dal recipes in India. Every region will has it’s own version and sometimes the difference will lie in as simple a thing as the ingredients used for tadka or the tempering.
