Miram Pappu and Kovakai is a wonderful combination that reminds me of my childhood days when I waited for lunch time when I knew this was on the menu. A simple meal but is heavenly with steamed rice.
Prep Time: 20 mins
Ingredients
Ingredients
Toor Dhal - 1 cup
Turmeric Powder- 1/2 tsp
Onion medium sized -1
Tomato large – 1
Chilly powder- 2 heaped tsps (slightly on the higher side gives a great taste)
Salt to taste
For Tadka:
Mustard seeds -1 tsp
Jeera – 1 tsp
Urad Dhal -1 tsp
Curry leaves
Coriander for Garnish
Make it my way
- Pressure cook Toor Dhal with Turmeric powder until soft (One whistle and simmer for 2 minutes)
- Heat Oil in a kadai add the tadka items. Once the mustard seeds splutter add the Onion. Fry till translucent.
- Add the chopped tomatoes. Add Chilli powder and salt.
- Cook till tomatoes are mushy.
- Add the Toor Dhal and bring to a boil.
- Garnish with Coriander leaves.
Tip: I usually cook the Toor Dhal in the top container when I pressure cook the rice.For this you may need a two tiered container to place inside the pressure cooker.Saves Time :)
