Trivia Tadka

Parippu Thoran is an essential part of any Kerala sadya or grand feast. It goes great with thoran and mezhukkupuratti. It is cooked using a spiced coconut mixture and forms an integral part of the traditional Onasadya. Moong dal is also a very important ingredient in Ayurveda-based cooking and is said to have a better effect on health than most other kinds of lentils.

Ingredients

  • Green gram (moong dal) (1 cup)
  • Coconut, grated (1 cup)
  • Dry red chillies (sabut lal mirch) (2)
  • Green chillies (hari mirch) (3)
  • Small onions, chopped (3)
  • MTR Haldi Turmeric Powder (½ tsp)
  • Fennel seeds (saunf) (½ tsp)
  • Yellow mustard seeds (sarson) (1 tsp)
  • Curry leaves (kadipatta) (2)
  • Oil (1 tbsp)
  • Salt (to taste )

Method

  • Pressure-cook the dal along with some salt, timing it to 1 whistle.
  • In a mixer-grinder, work up the grated coconut, the MTR Haldi/Turmeric Powder and saunf into a fine paste. Keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a kadhai, and add the sarson to it.
  • As it begins to splutter, add in the small onions, lal mirch and kadipatta and keep stirring for 5 minutes.
  • Next, add in the ground coconut mixture and keep stirring for 3 minutes. Then, add in the dal and mix it well. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve hot with steamed rice and ghee.
