Thuvaram Paruppu Pongal Recipe | Thurdal Pongal Recipe

Thuvaram Paruppu Pongal Recipe | Thurdal Pongal Recipe
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Pongal is one of the popular breakfast dish in TamilNadu. The conventional method of making pongal is with rice and moongdal. I have given here a slight variation from the conventional method and this thuvaram paruppu (Thurdal) Pongal has an extraordinary flavour of dal and rice along with peanuts. In the conventional pongal, we add cashews whereas here we are going to add crushed peanuts. Peanuts gives a nice crunchy taste and the overall pongal is so scrumptious. We can make this pongal for prasad too! Relish this Thuvaram Paruppu Pongal with Gotsu or Tiffin sambar or a simple Coconut Chutney and enjoy this delicious Pongal!

Tips for making Thuvaram Paruppu Pongal Recipe:

  • Adding salt with rice and dal and pressure cook together makes the salt nicely gets mixed with the cooked rice.
  • Add more water than regular rice cooking process. If the usual ratio is 1 cup rice :3 cups water, for pongal, you can increase by 1:4.
  • Also cook for more whistles than regular rice cooking process to ensure the rice and dal are cooked well and is mushy.
  • Instead of peanuts, we can fry cashews and add.
  • Finally after finishing pongal, we can take an inch of ginger and grate it and add. It enhances the flavor.
  • Before serving, if the pongal is thick, you sprinkle some water and reheat, top up with ghee and serve hot!
