This is part of typical Andhra style main menu and you will find pappu either made of methi or some other green leaves in any andhra style restaurant.
This is my favourite recipe from my Mom, who is a great cook!!!!!What makes it more delicious is that she adds to it, her love and tops it with extra love!!!!!Mom this is my way of telling the world of your marvelous cooking!
Ingredients:
Methi Leaves - 1 big bunch finely chopped
Red Chillies - 4 (4 for spicy version, adjust chillies based on preference)
Garlic - 1 whole medium size
Toor Dal - 1/2 cup
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
Methi seeds - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves - a few
Oil - 5 tsp
Onions - 1 big chopped
Method of Preparation:
Pressure cook methi Leaves along with garlic, 3 red chillies,1/2 chopped onions, turmeric and dal with water. Once pressure cooked take it off the cooker and separate out the water and mash rest of the mixture to medium consistency. Now take a pan and heat the oil. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, curry leaves , methi , 1 red chilli and the other half of chopped onions. Once the onions are sauteed, add the water that was kep out separately and now add the mashed mixture and cook until done. This tastes good with dosa/idli/chapati/rice. Yummy with rice and ghee!!!!!
