Notes

  1. Cinnamon, star anise, bay leaf, fennel seeds and other whole garam masala spice can be added for additional flavor
  2. I have used sona masoori rice. Instead, you can use raw rice, ponni rice, etc.
  3. Always soak rice and dal then cook arisi paruppu sadham
  4. No-onion no-garlic version of arisi paruppu sadam can also be prepared
  5. Vegetables like carrot, peas, beans, beetroot etc. can be added
  6. For the pressure cooker version follow all the procedures but after adding water bring the water to boil then pressure cook for 3 whistles
  7. I prefer adding the salt after pressure releases as it helps for proper cooling of dal
