Trivia Tadka

Pappu or dal is an essential part of any Andhra meal. In an Andhra–style dal, minimal spices are used with just a hint of ginger-garlic and onion in the seasoning.

  • Fenugreek leaves (hari methi), cleaned and chopped (1 cup)
  • Red gram (arhar dal) (1/2 cup)
  • Onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
