Paruppu usili preparation

Beans Paruppu Usili

  • Soak toor dhal and red chilli in water for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour,drain the dhal in a colander and grind the dhal,red chilli,asafoetida and needed salt to a thick paste.No need to add water while grinding.
  • Transfer this to a vessel,cover with a lid and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
  • Cook the beans with a pinch of turmeric powder and little salt.keep aside.
  • Once the pressure is released,take the cooked dhal and allow it to cool.
  • Use the pulse option in the mixie to crumble the cooked dhal evenly.
  • Heat a kadai,add oil followed by mustard seeds,urad dhal,curry leaves .Once the urad dhal turns golden in colour,add the cooked beans first and fry for 2-3 mins.Now add the crumbled dhal and mix everything well.
  • Cook in slow flame for few minutes till nice aroma comes.Paruppu usili is ready to serve.It tastes best with Mor Kuzhambu.
Note:
  • You can also steam the dhal in idli plates instead of pressure cooking but I find this way convenient and easy.
  • Cluster beans,Plantain flower(vazha poo) can also be used to make paruppu usili.
