Instructions
To Make the Masala for the Kerala Parippu Curry
Grind the coconut, cumin seeds, and green chillies into a smooth paste.
Use with a little water, if required.
Making the Kerala Parippu Curry
Over medium flame, dry roast the moong dal till it becomes aromatic and turns light brown.
Wash the moong dal and pressure cook in 1 cup water for about 3 whistles or till is completely mashed.
Using a heavy ladle, mash the dal well.
Add salt, turmeric, and the ground coconut paste.
Add about 1/2 cup water.
Mix well.
Over a medium flame, bring the Parippu Curry to a gentle boil.
Let the dal boil for 3 to 4 minutes.
Turn off and set aside.
Tempering
Heat the ghee or coconut oil.
Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the split red chillies and curry leaves.
Mix well and stir-fry for a few seconds.
Add the tempering to the Kerala Parippu Curry.
Enjoy with some hot steamed rice and a generous spoonful of ghee.
Notes
The dal will thicken with time and so let it be a little runny initially.
