It is a pleasant day out today, not a lot of sun, just enough clouds and some drizzle... the leaves are looking greener than ever....
Just thought of my grandma, and what she will make for a day like this... and paruppu came to mind. Not with the cooker, def, let's make it from scratch...
In a heavy bottomed narrow vessel, boil 5 cups water. Once the water is boiling, add 3/4 cup of toor dal, some ghee (or castor oil, or olive oil), some turmeric and let boil. After five minutes add some chopped onions, 1-2 garlic cloves and 2 green chilis slit. Simmer the stove and let cook till dal is soft. Tadka (*) with mustard and some onions (golden brown)... voila, awesome dal, to serve with rice and pickles or papads...

(*) Tadka means to garnish or finish the dish... In a small heavy bottomed vessel, heat 1 tsp oil, little mustard (let it pop), add chopped onions (or dried onions, they brown immediately), and pour this hot mixture into the dal...
