Mudda Pappu | Gatti Pappu: Andhra Style Plain Tuvar Dal

Aruna
Mudda Pappu, also called Gatti Pappu, is the plain boiled and mashed Andhra-style Tuvar Dal that is eaten with rice and ghee. Typically, we pair this mellow dal-rice with a spicy pickle like Avakai, or then with a Rasam. Mudda Pappu Annam is also used as food for toddlers.

Equipment
  • Pressure Cooker
  • Bowl - 1/2 Litre Capacity
  • Spoon
  • Wok (Optional, see instructions)
Ingredients
  
  • 1/2 Cup Tuvar Dal
  • 1 Cup Water
  • Salt to Taste
Instructions
 
{Optional} Roasting the Tuvar Dal
  • In a wok, over medium flame, dry roast 1/2 cup tuvar dal till it starts to change colour.
Cooking the Mudda Pappu
  • Transfer the tuvar dal to a vessel and add 1 cup water.
  • Let the dal soak for a minimum of 10 minutes. I usually soak it for 30 to 45 minutes because then the dal becomes really easy to cook.
  • Pressure cook the dal till it is of mashable consistency. It takes about 4 to 6 whistles.
  • Let the pressure cooker cool and remove the dal from the cooker.
  • Add some salt and mix the Mudda Pappu well so that it gets mashed.
  • Serve hot Mudda Pappu with steamed rice and ghee with Avakai, Nimmakaya or Nimmakaya Kharam on the side.
