Recipe: At Home Vegetable Paruppu-Araichu(Usili) Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Vegetable Paruppu-Araichu(Usili). Green Beans Paruppu Usili is a wholesome and high protein side dish which is served along with a mor kuzhambu or vatha kuzhambu. Toor Dal is soaked and ground along with red chillies, turmeric and salt and then steamed to make dal cakes also known as paruppu idli. Once the dal is steamed, it is crumbled and tossed along with asafoetida, curry leaves and steamed vegetables.

I have adapted this from Pudalangai Paruppu- Araichu ( Usili) by Anushaa Ashok in the Cookpad website.

We had this for lunch recently and found it to be quite tasty served with steamed rice and hot rasam.

  2. After 20 minutes youll see that the lentils would have absorbed all the water now add required amount of salt, turmeric, green chillies, asafoetida and 4 strands of curry leaves. Grind it to a coarse paste. DO NOT add water, the water in the lentils will assist in grinding..
