Poom paruppu is a regional name given for the most renowned kadalai paruppu sundal. The meaning is poo - flower ; paruppu - lentil. More specifically, 'A sundal made with the lentils cooked till they bloom like a tender flower'. Isn't it attractive?
So, enjoy the summer evenings with this beautiful sundal along with a cup of tea:)
Ingredients:
Bengal gram (channa dhal / kadalai paruppu) - 1 cupmustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
coconut oil - 1 tsp
dry red chillies - 2
curry leaf - few
salt - to taste (little only)
shredded coconut - 1/4 cup
Method:
Wash and clean the dhal twice.Soak the dhal for 30 minutes and cook it over stove till it becomes tender (not mushy).
If we don't have time to soak, then we can pressure cook it to 2 whistles with water just to immerse the dhal (not more than that).
Remove the excess water. Mix some salt to taste. Keep aside.
Heat oil in a wok. Add the mustard seeds and let it splutter.
Then add the dry red chillies (broken), curry leaves and stir for a few seconds till the chilly swells.
Immediately add the cooked dhal, shredded coconut and stir well.
Put off fire.
Poom paruppu sundal is ready!
Serving suggestions:
Serves three.Serve as snack with tea or coffee in the evening.
Sometimes I make it as side dish for puli saatham / lemon rice etc.

Deepa: Thanks dear. We can add lemon too. But this version gives a touch of temple prasadam.
Viki,
Amma used to make it for navarathri, sundal looks delicious.
my hubby's fav..thanks to sharing this recipe..
Dear Viki
Very nice snack indeed.
I read your nice comment at my blog.
Actually boiling with potato gives a slight body to a thin curry, it wont thicken like onion paste, tomato or rice powder paste.
I am a Bong and a rice eater too inj all my meals. Given a choice, I dont eat roti, Paratha etc.
Have a nice weekend
