As I have told in my previous post last friday we moved to new apartment, that day we had amazing lunch at a friend’s place. Next day I was totally clueless about our lunch, as we didnt unpack fully.  Though packers and movers did a great job labeling each cardboard boxes, unpacking kitchen stuff when LO was around was a nightmare for me 🙂

I saw a separate box lying in a corner, it had few ingredients which I used in our temporary accommodation. As soon as I saw rice and toor dal I had a big relief, my son’s all time favorite Arisi Paruppu Sadam volunteered to save my day.  It is simple without any fancy ingredients.  I told my hubby that I am going to prepare this for him he immediately told do it for us as well.

I prepared a very quick version of this recipe (rice, Dal, garlic, pepper-cumin Powder, turmeric powder,salt and ghee). While eating, I thought should post this soon in blog, Protein rich and tasty one pot meal – such a boon for all mothers during busy days. I drafted this recipe few months back somehow I missed it, recently I prepared this for my son with some carrots and peas, after feeding him I am updating the draft and scheduled the post.

Ever since childhood days myself and my sis love Paruppu Sadam. My Amma’s version of paruppu Sadam is very simple, cooked rice with cooked dal, salt and a big dollop of ghee, for side a quick curd raita (coconut, salt, sugar, green Chilli). I remember skipping rice accompaniment to eat paruppu Sadam

When I was working in IT industry my teammate used to bring Arisi Paruppu Sadam for lunch. One day I tasted it and was surprised to see garlic, onion and lot of intersting flavours in paruppu sadam.  Should I say I finished his Lunch box 🙂

After starting soild for my son people advised me to add lot of lentil, garlic, Cumin seed in my son’s food. I instantly remembered my friend’s version and started cooking it regularly.

Notes

1. Cinnamon, star anise, bay leaf, fennel seeds and other whole garam masala spice can be added for additional flavor
2. Soaking Dal and rice part can be skipped, I do it as occasionally Dal I get here won't cook properly without soaking
3. No-onion no-garlic version of arisi paruppu sadam can also be prepared
4. Vegetables like carrot, peas, beans, beetroot etc. can be added
5. If you are cooking the arisi paruppu sadam directly in pressure cooker add 1/4 cup extra water
