Ingredients: (Recipe For 2)


Kadalai Parupu            - 1/4 cup  (Channa Dal)
Sorakkai                      - 1/4 cup (Chopped)
Turmeric Powder        - 1/4 tsp
Mustard Seeds            - 1/2 tsp
Urad Dal                     - 1/2 tsp
Small Onions              - 5
Red Chilli                   - 1
Curry Leaves              - few
Salt                             - As required
Oil                              - As required

To Grind:

Chopped Coconut       - 3 tbsp
Cumin Seeds               - 1 tsp
Green Chilli                - 1

Procedure:

  • Chop Sorakkai into little pieces. Chop Small onions finely.
  • Wash and Cook Well Channa Dal. I used to pressure cook Channa dal in high flame for 1 whistle and after that will cook in low flame for 10 more minutes. Channa Dal would have cooked well by now.
  • Add Sorakkai to cooked channa dal and cook for another whistle.
  • Grind everything under ' To Grind'.
  • Heat oil in  a pan. Add Mustard Seeds and Urad dal.
  • When they splutter, add chopped Onions, Red chilli and curry leaves.
  • Add cooked Dal and Sorakkai after the onions are translucent.
  • Add also the ground masala, turmeric powder and enough salt.
  • Add enough water and cook the kuzhambu, till it gets thicker.
  • Serve it with hot steaming rice.
