Parippu Curry is one of the popular recipe in Kerala made using dal and it is one of the main dish in the Onam Sadya. Moong dal is cooked well and then concocted with coconut-chili paste. Finally the Parippu curry is tempered with coconut oil based mustard, curry leaves and shallots. A Very delicious dal to mix with hot steaming rice!  One of the major limelight of Onam festival is the Sadya which is also referred as Onasadya. A versatile of Kerala delicacies are served on a banana leaf. Sadya means ‘banquet’, an elaborate vegetarian meal of lentils, curries, pickles etc. in this elaborate meal, Parippu curry takes the main place.

Uniqueness of Parippu curry:

Parippu curry seems much similar to tadka dal.  In Tadka dal we cook the dal and add ghee flavored tadka to the cooked dal. The main uniqueness of this Kerala style dal is the coconut spice paste. Coconut is grind to paste along with green chili, cumin and shallot which is then cooked with mashed moong dal. This coconut spice paste gives unique flavor to this dal.

Tips for making Parippu Curry:

  • Moong dal can be cooked directly on the stove top. But if we want to speed up the cooking then we can pressure cook it for 4-5 whistles.
  • To get good flavor, it’s recommended to dry fry the dal first before pressure cooking
  • Adding shallots while grinding is optional. I have just added 1 shallot. We can exclude while grinding and include shallots only with the tempering.
  • Coconut oil gives authentic flavor to the curry, but we can also temper with ghee.
  • Parippu gets thicker upon cooling. So we can add 1-2 cups of water to cooked dal and coconut paste and make it slightly semi-thick.
  • Relish this Parippu curry with hot steaming rice along with ghee and papad!
