Easy Dhal - Veg Paruppusili



Easy vegetable with dhal( Paruppusuli)

Beans, Cabbage, Carrot or Capsicum or any non watery vegetable
½ kg
Toor dhal
2 tablespoon
Bengal gram dhal
1 tbsn
Red chilli
2
Asafoetida
1 tsp
Oil
2 tsp
Salt to taste



  1. Cut the vegetables in to small pieces.
  2. Place dhals, chilli,asafoetida and ½ salt in the mixer and grind very coarsely, it is enough if the dhals just split into ½ or so.
  3. Pour oil in a pan, season mustard and urad dhal and add the ground dhal mix to it.
  4. Add the cut vegetables above the dhal powder.
  5. Do not mix them, the dhal should be at the bottom and the veg on top.
  6. Add ½ salt to veg , pour ½ cup water and close the pan with a lid.
  7. Keep the fire to medium.
  8. After 10 minutes, open the lid and mix the veg and dhal well.
  9. Keep the pan open so that there is no moisture in the curry.
  10. When the veg gets cooked, the dhal will also be soft and ¾ cooked, just right for a paruppusili.
  11. Main advantage is, not much of oil, no soaking, grinding and sauting the dhals, this and that.
  12. Did this just now and it came out really well.
  13. We can do it with yellow moong dhal also. But no grinding of the dhal is required in that case.
