They are refreshingly new and easy to cook and very tasty indeed. Hubby likes them too. This one came out so good, I'm making it tommorrow for a get-together. I mistakingly made it with chana dal instead of roasted chana dal...it came out good too. Thanks for your contributions. Hi..love the recipes on your website.

Paruppu usli with broccoli sounds like something I'd like to try. Pavani: I have never heard of a 'patoli' before. blog the recipe, please? :) Sandhya; I know, I don't know about others but my parents would be horrified. Alison: gawar with kala masala sounds good too. I like kala masala flavored vegetables. Thanks and you are welcome.:) Krithika: I think the reason behind the steamcooking is mainly to aid the digestion. When I first tried this recipe last year, I wanted to experiment. So skipped steamcooking, directly went to frying the dal. End result was crispy, midly sweet and almost like toasted bread crumbs taste. We liked it and also able to digest it easily without any stomach troubles. So I've been preparing the sameway since then. Arjuna: . :) Hi Viji, Krista, Hema, Priya: Thanks for your comments. Desimom: Congratulations on your new site and best wishes! Hi Gini: Still finding our way through but we like it here. For the first time after coming from India, we are using our legs. We walk to library, to grocery shopping, for everything. All are in quite walkable distance. It's nice to be able to walk to grocery shop and pick stuff for that day or week. Downtown is crowded always and pretty safe during regular office hours. So far, Seattle is not bad at all. Nice to see you here Thodarumm. Thanks and Shubha Deepavali to you as well. That's a nice coincidence and thanks for sharing the tips. Hi ash: Thanks for the informative comment.

Secondlt, Happy Deepavali to you and all the other posters here. Thirdly, what a coincidence... I made this usili with frozen Gawar on Saturday along with drumstick ( moorungakai ) mor kuzhambu. I make it with toor dal just as the others have written. I steam the dal paste. One tip I learnt from my MIL this time: if the dal paste becomes a bit too mushy ( not coarse), let it cool and then scoop it all up and then pulverize it in Sumeet mixie for just a few seconds... it redeems the dish nicely.

In Kerala, atleast where I grew up we didn't eat a lot of dal. It was generally used for dosa/idli and a dish with grated coconut. When I went to Delhi as a student the runny dal at the canteen spoiled dals for me. With so many Indian bloggers, especially you, dal finding its way into our diet. The campaign ads can be horrendous and the candidates saying' I support this' makes you wonder about the candidates. Hi Indira, how are you liking it in Seattle?

We make paruppu usli with tur dal. Will give chana dal a shot next time. In my opinion this goes best with molagu sambhar or seeramolagu rasam (black pepper sambhar or jeera-pepper rasam).
