paruppu | dal Dhal recipe of Tamilnadu. Dhal, rice with ghee is the favorite food of toddlers, kids, as well as Adults. Making dhal is an easy job. Within 25 minutes we can prepare the dhal with fewer ingredients. This dhal recipe (paruppu | dhal) is a combination of dhal with onion, green chilly, tomato, cumin and, pepper. To prepare dhal, we can use ghee, coconut oil, or sesame oil. Use a dash of ghee with rice while serving this (paruppu | dhal) dal.

Using Oil: for this recipe, you can use ghee, coconut oil, groundnut oil, or sesame oil, In this recipe (paruppu | dhal) I have used sesame oil

cooking dal:

Cooking dal smooth and mushy is the key factor to get the dal really good. here are some tips to get the dal soft

  • It is important to cook the dal smooth to make this curry. Usually, thor dal takes longer time to cook. So pressure cook it for 7 whistles in the medium flame will help to get smooth textured dal.
  • Adding 1/4 tsp of castor oil with thor dal while pressure cooking will give nice mushy dal, in case of lack of castor oil, we can use oil or ghee. But castor oil gives the best result.
  • soaking dal in hot water before pressure cooking also makes the dal cook soft. (following these tips help you to cook the dal smooth for making paruppu | dhal)
Adding coriander leaves:

Adding a considerable amount of coriander leaves gives a good flavor to this dal. Here I have added 1/4 cup of chopped coriander leaves at the end
