    Keral-style Lentil curry 

    comforting parippu curry is must in Kerala special sadya.  Without many ingredients, dal curry is super easy to make and tastes delicious. 

    CAN I SKIP SOAKING DAL?

    Yes, soaking is optional but helps for mushy dal. 

    Can I use toor dal?

    Traditionally moong dal is used for Kerala paruppu curry. For homestyle curry you can use any dal of your choice.

    WILL IT BE SPICY?

    No, pasi paruppu dal is with a subtle taste. If you prefer spicy paruppu curry adjust the chilli accordingly.

    SHOULD I ADD THE GHEE TEMPERING?

    For  authentic Kerala lentil curry I have used coconut oil. You can use any oil of your choice. Serve it with a dallop of ghee

    Can I skip coconut

    Coconut gives the best flavour for the curry. Skipping it will alter the dal taste.
