Celery Pappu

A healthy way to eat regular daal and tastes so delicious too!!


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Pigeon Peas (Kandi Pappu, Toor daal)
  • 1 cup diced Celery
  • 1 Tomato, chopped
  • Few Cilantro leaves
  • A pinch of Turmeric
  • 3 or 4 Green chilies, chopped
  • Salt

For Seasoning/Tempering:

  • 1 tsp oil
  • ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
  • ¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • A pinch of Asafetida (Inguva, Hing)

Preparation:

Pressure cook daal until it is cooked. Keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan or bowl and add all the other ingredients under For Seasoning/Tempering in order.

Then add all the chopped vegetables (celery, tomato and green chilies) and mix well. Add turmeric and mix well.

Pour some water, cover and allow the vegetables to cook well.

When the veggies appear to be cooked, add cooked daal and mix well. Add salt as needed.

Keep the pan on low flame for 2 minutes, sprinkle chopped cilantro on top and turn off the flame.

Transfer the pappu to a serving bowl and enjoy with rice or chapathis.
