Moong dal is one lentil that is often used in many pathiya samayal as it is easy to digest. Split yellow lentil /dehusked moong bean is widely called as pasi paruppu or payatham paruppu or siru paruppu in Tamil, moong dal and dhuli in Hindi, pesarapappu in Telugu, Cheruparipu in Malayalam.
Why payatham Paruppu?
Usually, Paruppu Thogayal and many podi varieties are prepared with Toor Dal. First few days after postpartum moong dal is the preferred dal as it is good for digestion. Moong dal is also good for toddlers. Moong dal podi when mixed with ghee serves as a tasty and healthy Idli podi for new moms and toddlers.

What is special about Pasi Paruppu Podi Thogayal?
Payatham paruppu podi stays good for weeks and it is a multipurpose podi. It can be mixed with rice and consumed as podi sadam. With little water, podi can be converted into a tasty thogayal recipe. After delivery, coconut and spicy Idli Podi are generally avoided and this pasi Paruppu podi mixed with ghee/ sesame oil can be served as a side dish for tiffin varieties like Idli for new moms.
How is this postpartum-friendly recipe?
Poondu is one ingredient that is very good for lactation so garlic is one perfect addition for this Thogayal. Unlike other Thogayal varieties, we don’t use red Chilli for this pasi paruppu Thogayal, pepper spice is very good for new moms and hence podi is only with pepper spice.
How long does the podi stay good?
The best part of the recipe is the variation. Payatham Paruppu podi stays good for weeks. I would recommend making a fresh portion of Thogayal with little water. If you are planning to consume the thogayal/podi in 1-2 days little ghee can be used while roasting the dal but skip it If it is made in bulk batch.
For nonpostpartum payatham Paruppu Thogayal, what are all the variations?
- Red Chilli can be used for spice
- Garlic is optional and can be avoided
- Coconut is added for Paruppu Thogayal but I’d prefer little coconut can be added
- A combination of dal can be used
