Paruppu Rasam-Rasam with Dal or Lentils-Paruppu Rasam Recipe

November 23, 2015 34 Comments

Usually, rasam is made with some paruppu or dal added to it at the end. However, paruppu rasam is a bit different because of the simplicity and the spices uses. I feel that lunch is incomplete with some ‘ozhichu koottan’ (gravy, for lack of a better word) to go with it. The most common ones I make are sambhar, rasam and dal. It was gettng quite boring so this weekend, I decided to mix-n-match and make parippu rasam. I made the consistency slightly thicker than normal, the way I like it.

You may also wish to check out this Mysore rasam recipe, my super quick tomato rasam, cumin rasam for a slightly sick day, and a good spinach kootu to serve with whatever rasam recipe you choose to make.

PARUPPU RASAM RECIPE

Ingredients:
Toor dal/tuvar dal – 1/4 cup
Tamarind paste – 2 tbsp
Rasam Powder – 2 tsp
Red chillies – 4
Turmeric – 1/2 tsp
Crushed garlic – 8 cloves
Water – 1 1/2 cups

Instructions:

1. Pressure cook the dal well with turmeric. Once done, mash it well and keep aside.

2. In a little oil, cackle the mustard seeds, add the red chillies and garlic and fry for a minute. Then add the rasam powder and fry for another minute.

3. Mix the dal and add the tamarind paste with the water. Adjust the water at this stage to have the consistency you desire.

4. Bring water to boil, add required salt and remove from fire.

5. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve hot with steamed rice.

    In Malaysia we can get any kinds of Indian foods so there was no motivation to learn how to cook, now I regret because I only know how to cook a few Indian dishes. 🙁

    Hi! My name is Project 71. Weird name I know, but my masters are weird too. My masters apologize for such an out-of-context comment and they know how painful such spamlike comments are. But, say masters, how else are we to present something good to the world. By that they mean me :D. Kindly see what I am about. Won’t take you more than 22s to read… http://www.project71.com/readme Enjoyy!
