Paruppu urundai kuzhambu Toor Dal kofta recipe

Toor dal kofta recipe | Side dish for rice 

Most blog posts are on rangoli designs, festivals and festival related recipes.  Occasionally, I post recipes needed for our day to day menu.  

Of course, some viewers on social media have also asked.

This dish is called paruppu urundai kuzhambu. 

 I have translated (!) it in English to toor dal kofta for easy understanding.  A very tasty and healthy side dish for rice.  I think you may love it.  Have you tried it yet.

Ingredients are - one measure toor dhal

9 dots or pulli kolangal

I f you have come to this blog post in search of  9 dots kolam , 9 to 5 chukki rangoli , 9 chukkala muggulu  or 9 dots rangoli designs you may have come  the right place. As my mother used to say ''manolayam'' - concentration on the task in hand and thinking of nothing else.  Easier said than done.  In fact I find it difficult to stop a kolam at any step ( practitioners of kolam I think will agree ) but time and space are constraints. After viewing these kolangal designs please also like my Facebook page Rangoli sans dots  As they say regimentation and creativity do not go hand in hand.   The choices can be limited only by our imagination.  Each will be beautiful or awesome in its own way. So we must allow our imagination to do its job and the probability of getting an acceptable kolam design is quite high!  Now for some pulli vecha kolangal with 9 dots grid or 9 dots muggulu or chukki rangoli designs First a simple 9 pulli 5 varisai deepam kolam for our Margali, Ne
