mmmm...Parupusily...

Parupusilly, by the name suggests it is a lentil based sidedish. Though it takes a little bit of our time, the end result is yummy and delicious. What makes it different than any other vegetable. Its just a mixture of Dal ( lentils) and Vegetables. Normally , for parupusily we use Beans. Other than that, you can substitute with snake guard , spinach , Carrot, or add onions with those vegetables. Sounds silly but you won't believe the taste... Wonderful.



The recipe goes like this:

Ingredients :

• Beans ( chopped medium/ small pieces)
• Chana dal(kalla parupu) - 3/4 cup
• Toor dal (tuvaram parupu) - 1/2 cup
• Long red chillies - 5 to 6 according to the spice you like
  
• Ural dal (1-2 tsp)
  
• Mustard seeds
• Curry leaves
• Turmeric ( 1/2 spn)
  

1 . First, soak Chana dal and Toor dal for 1- 2 hours before hand. Coarsely grind the dal in mixie wiith red chillies.

2. Steam in the cooker , by either placing dal in idly cooker or normal pressure cooker for about 10- 12 mts. Along with that add chopped beans so that it takes less of our time.

3. Once thats over, take a kadai , add oil , mustard seeds. Once it sputters , add urad dal, turmeric powder and fry beans nicely.

4. Side by Side, Take a big plate where you can get all the dal down from the pressure cooker. Let it cool for a 5- 10 mts.

5. Once it cooled, add oil in another kadai, and fry the grinded dal nicely. It should fry nicely so you can see the brown crust on that dal. After that mix Beans and Dal.

Hmmmm...Lovely...Delicious...Fried...Parupusily is ready.

P.S : You can substitute with Snake Guard, Spinach, Carrot or add onions to those vegetables. Get a wonderful taste!!!!
