Kandi Pachadi (Toor Dal Chutney)

This is a great tasting Andhra delicacy made with the protein-rich Kandi pappu (Toor Dal, Pigeon Peas). This is so easy to make with a few ingredients. Here is my version of this yummy pachadi.

Note: I always make this oil-free, but you may add little oil while roasting the dal. You may also add few garlic flakes while grinding the pachadi.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Kandi Pappu (Pigeon Peas, Toor Dal)
  • 5 or 6 dry Red Chilies
  • 1 tsp Tamarind Pulp
  • ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • Salt

Preparation:

Heat a pan and dry roast toor dal + red chilies + cumin seeds. Keep aside to cool.

When it becomes cold grind into a fine (a little coarse is ok) paste by adding tamarind pulp and salt. Add little water as needed.

Enjoy this yummy pachadi with steaming hot rice and a dollop of ghee. Yummy!!

On a Different Note:

Dear blogger friends have generously passed some awards to me. I am sorry if I took a long time in acknowledging them!!

Thank you Sreeleka Sumesh, Babli, Suma Rajesh for these awards!! Thanks for thinking about me. :)

Wonderful with steamed rice and ghee on top. Is it snowing in ur neck of wood? There is snow in high elevation in my place!

@A2Z Vegetarian Cuisine:

Thank you for letting me know about the problem. But when I tried, it loaded the entire page in the first attempt itself. I don't know what could be the problem. Let me check. :)

@Cham: Wow, it snowed at your place? Great. We expected some snow too, but it turned into rain. Kids were so disappointed :)

@All: thank you for your sweet comments :)
