My kids hate this one dish. And since they are not home at the moment, we are indulging in this one without any remorse. It is not something they will miss. My daughter told me that she is missing my sambar, so I made this one without the normal sambar that I make with it. I would not bear to eat it now.
So on with the simple recipe.
I took 2 small handfuls of pasi paruppu (moong dal)and dry fried in cooker for a few mts till a gentle aroma of the dal came. Then I washed the dal and 3/4 cup rice in the cooker and added 4 cups water and set to cook. Also added 1/2 cup milk, some turmeric and some hing before closing cooker. Let go for one whistle.
Once the cooker is cooled, I heated some ghee in a vessel. Add more hing, finely chopped ginger, curry leaves, jeera and coarsely crushed pepper(onnuku renda thatti podanum). Cashew is optional. I don't want ghee and cashew! So choosing one of the fatty things only for this. ;) add contents of cooker and stir well.
I have served this with a good lemon pickle. Yum!!!
