Simple yet rich, the Kerala Parippu is something beyond explanation – an experience to be savoured. This authentic Kerala dal recipe uses common, everyday ingredients, yet it is addictively tasty when had with freshly steamed rice !

Cooked moong dal is flavoured with a paste of coconut and onions, and a traditional tempering made in coconut oil. This gives the Kerala Parippu an energetic flavour and enticing aroma.

Nonetheless it is very easy to make, and can easily be included in your everyday cooking plans.

You can also try making the Kadala Curry and Bhindi Onion Stir-Fry .
