Parippu Curry (Split green gram/ Moong Dal Curry)

Parippu Curry (Split green gram/ Moong Dal Curry) is a tasty and healthy south Indian delicacy. It has a main part in Kerala Onam / Vishu Sadya (Kerala Traditional Feasts). “ Parippu and Pappad “ are always everyone’s favourable pair side dish especially for kids. It is very easy and simple recipe yet very healthy and tasty. In this recipe I used homemade roasted cumin seed powder. It gives a special taste and aroma. Try this simple Kerala Parippu Curry with pappad and enjoy 🙂

• Place coconut, green chilly, small onions, turmeric powder, and cumin seed powder in a grinder or food processor. Add little water, grind and make a smooth paste. Keep aside.

• Heat the dal again in a medium heat. Add ground coconut paste in it and mix well.

• Heat oil/ghee in a frying pan. Pop Mustard seeds.

• Add chopped onions, garlic, diced dry chilly and curry leaves. Fry until golden and crispy.

• Reduce the flame and add ¼ teaspoon chilly powder in it and saute. Turn off the heat immediately ( otherwise chilly powder will burn). Pour the fried mix over to Parippu Curry and mix well.
