Ingredients To Make Mudda Pappu
Toor Dal | Arhar | Pigeon Peas: Earthy flavoured toor dal is rich source of protein and fiber. We use toor dal in making sambar, podi and other dal recipes like dal fry, leshun dal, etc; Soaking the dal for 20-30 minutes, help in cooking the dal faster. Adding salt, just before mashing the dal, helps in cooking the dal faster and softer.
There are two ways of making mudda pappu with toor dal,
My mom-in-law roasts the toor dal before making mudda pappu. Roasting toot dal will bring nice aroma, taste and texture in dal.
You can even make mudda pappu without roasting the toor dal. This is quick, easy and convenient way of making mudda pappu.
Salt: When it is a savory recipe, then salt is the main ingredient.
Water: The ration of dal and water is 1:3. If you want, thick mudda pappu, then add dal and water in 1:2 ratio.
