Arusiyum Paruppu Sadam / Parrupu Sadam / Dhal Rice~ Coimbatore Special



After marriage I had to learn a few recipes and this was the first of them all, since my husband is from Coimbatore and this was his favorite dish, I searched online to find the recipe. But as days went by I adapted it into my own recipe. Now this has become a staple dish at home, I make this almost every week or in a day when I am not sure what to cook, did you hear me right? Yea its a simple recipe and can be done when you are feeling really lazy.



Some people add vegies to this - carrot, beans or even potato, but we like it to be simple with just dhal. It can be paired with applam/ papads, curd and pickle as simple as that. 

Prep time ~ 20 mins
Serves ~ 2

Ingredients 

Rice - 1 cup
water - 2 1/2 cup 
Thoor Dhal/ Thovar Dhal - 1/4 - 1/2 cup
Tomato - 1 medium (finely chopped)
Onion - 1 medium (finely chopped)
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 6-7
Sambar powder - 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Jeera whole - 1/4 tsp
Hing - pinch
Salt - to taste
Oil/ ghee - 3 tsp
Corriander - to garnish

Method 

  • Soak dhal and rice for 30 mins - 1 hour
  • In a pressure cooker, add oil, add mustard seeds and let it pop, jeera, hing, curry leaves and onions, cook for 30 sec, add ginger-garlic paste and tomato let it cook
  • add masalas and combine well, add the soaked rice and salt, add enough water to cook, at this stage taste the water to check for salt 
  • close the lid and let it cook for 10mins/ 3 -4 whistles
  • garnish with corriander and serve hot
