5 Must Try Andhra Dal Recipes
Mudda Pappu | Andhra Special Recipe
Mudda Pappu is also served in combo with Chaaru or Rasam. Every house have their own version of chaaru and rasam recipes. But to me, tangy tamarind chaaru and pappu is truly a winning combo that make a comfort meal. Whenever I run out of ideas then I depend on this combo of rice, chaaru, dal, pickle and papad or aloo fry. Simple to make recipe with just two handy ingredients. I learnt to dry roast the dal from my Mom-in-law. Dry roasting the dal gives a strong and sharp flavour to the recipe. Try it to taste it.
This recipe is going to participate in My Legume Love Affair Sixth Helping hosted by Suganya of Tasty Palettes, Event by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook.
