SPICY DAL (KAARAM PAPPU)



Preparation of this dal is very much different from other dal preparation. This can be made spicy according to your spice level. This can be served with rice, regular dosa, uttappam.  I particularly love this and make as a side dish with curd dosa and also with rice.  It is one of our family favourite recipe( my grandmom recipe).


Ingredients :

Toor dal - 3/4 cup

For Tadka :

Ghee - 1/2 tbsp
Mustard - 1 tsp
Curry leaves few
Coriander for garnishing
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp




Spice paste :

Coriander seeds - 2 tsp
Cummin seeds - 1 tsp
Red chilli - 4
Garlic - 3 pods
Pepper - 1/4 tsp
Shallots - 3
Coconut - 2 tbsp scrapped
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
oil and salt

Method :

1. Pressure cook dal with tsp of oil and turmeric powder.
2. Heat a tsp of oil in a frying pan fry all the spices one by one until they turn slight brown.
3. Then fry the shallots and garlic until light brown add the coconut saute and switch of the gas.
4. Grind it to fine paste adding water.
5. In a vessel add the cooked dal, ground paste. Add little water and check for salt.
6. Let it cook for 5 minutes.  Temper the dal with Ghee, mustard and curry leaves.
7. Garnish with coriander leaves. Ready to serve with rice or dosas.



Note:

1. Coconut is optional adding little will give good taste.

Dear Pavithra
This spice is awesome! I am getting the aroma right now. But before making the Alu dish, I am going to use it today with stir fried chicken.
It is going to be great!!
Have a nice weekend

The chillis u used are the fresh ones or dried chillis. if dried chillis, must we soak it & remove the seeds?
