    Arisi paruppu Sadam (rice and dal) rice is a protein-rich filling meal. With minimal ingredients, it tastes great. One-pot Arisi paruppu sadham can be prepared in a pressure cooker and Instant Pot.

    Should I soak rice + dal for Paruppu Sadham?

    Yes, whenever I am making one-pot dal-based recipes I prefer soaking rice+ dal for better soaking. I gave soaked in hot water instead you can soak overnight in cold water. Well-soaked rice + dal yields the best Arisi pappu Sadam.

    What should be the ratio of rice+ dal?

    Traditionally 4:1 ratio rice: dal is used,but to add more protein I have used 2:1 rice: dal. Adjust according to your taste

    What kind of rice should I use?

    I have used sona masoori rice. Instead, you can use raw rice, ponni rice, etc.

    How to make Pressure cooker Arisi Paruppu sadham?

    For the pressure cooker version follow all the procedures but after adding water bring the water
    to boil then pressure cook for 3 whistles

    How to make Arisi paruppu Saddam kids friendly?

    For kids-friendly version, you can add extra water and makes it mushy. Also to make it less spicy use pepper-cumin powder and skip sambar powder

    Can I cook pappu sadam with salt ?

    I prefer adding salt after dal and rice are well cooked. Add salt , mix well and keep the cooker closed. Set aside for at least 15 minutes for salt flavor to incorporate

    Can I prepare masoor dal pulao in other size instant pot?

    Yes, I have used 5 quart instant pot but you can use any size instant pot. If you are using bigger pot add little extra water for proper cooking. For smaller pots reduce water else you will end up with slightly mushy pulao. 

    can I add garam masala?

    yes, you can add any spice powder of your choice.

    Quick and healthy one pot meal.
