Notes
- Moong Dal - You can either pressure cook dal or even cook covered in a pot. AS its moong dal it gets cooked easily in just 15 minutes. Make sure to have some texture so do not mash it very smooth.
- Roasting - Roasting dal gives nice flavor and also cooks the dal fast.
- Coconut paste - Make sure you grind coconut to a slightly coarse paste. Add little water while grinding. You can add 2 cloves garlic for grinding it along with coconut.
- Tempering - You can add a pinch of hing while tempering.
- Parippu Curry thickens with time, so switch off when its in flowing consistency.
