Parippu curry is a very nutritious , specially for kids. In different parts of Kerala, this dish is made differently. Some add garlic while some doesnt add coconut. Below is how my mom makes it and so does me :)
Ingredients:
Parippu / Moong Dal - 1/2 cup
Shredded Coconut - 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Coconut oil - 1 tbsp
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Salt to taste
Method:
1. Dry roast moong dal for 2-3 minutes on medium high heat. Pressure cook it for 2 - 3 whistles with enough water.
2. Meanwhile grind coconut and cumin seeds to a smooth paste.
3. Open the pressure cooker once the pressure is released. Add salt and the grinded coconut to this. Cook this for 3-4 minutes. Add coconut oil and curry leaves to this and turn off the heat.
Serve hot with rice, ghee and pappadam.
