Hi Indira
I have been browsing your site for about an year. I really admire the simplicity of your preparations. What gives your site an edge is definitely the PHOTOS!! You post pics right from raw material stage to semi processed to ready dish. That gives a very good idea and let’s me know that I am going in the right direction.
Beans is something that me and my hubby sulk to eat. But I made the beans paruppu usli and it turned out very well and was relished by all in the family. THanks!!! And keep doing the great work friend!!!

yea always better to steam paruppu usili,also i prefer to eat with smbar,rasam and curd rice rather than chappati,or just mix it with rice and eat……..does anyone have a recipe to make a good rasam without using puli ( tamarind )

Hi Indira,
I followed your recipe for paruppu usili, but as Meetha said, I steamed the dall and cooked the beans. It was good.Thanks for the recipe. I will be happy if you can add my site in your great link list.

Indira,

I do little bit change in doing paruppu usli.After grinding toor and channa dal with red chillies.I taka fistfull of this paste ,press it inbeween your fingures and place it in idli steamer and steam for 3 or 4 mins.
Then I mix it with cooked beans for a 1 min in kadai after tadka and serve as you mentioned.It doesnt become soggy.
