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

Two green chillies

Dhania or coriander one table spoon

Cumin or jeera one tea spoon

Grind all ingredients in a mixer

Add salt required for the dough only . Then knead well to get dough

Divide the dough into two parts

One part grind with coconut in a mixer

Keep the paste ground with coconut aside

Roll the other part into spherical shapes

Apply oil on a idli plate

Keep it in a pressure cooker with the dal kofta spheres and cook for 10 minutes

Mean while soak an amla sized tamarind in water

To a shallow pan add oil , when the oil is hot , add mustard, urad dhal , asafoetida, cumin and curry leaves

Add the tamarind extract

Add turmeric powder

Dilute the batter ground with coconut and add to the boiling ingredients

Then add required quantity of salt

    

Add dal kofta or paruppu urundai

Add jaggery

Toor dal kofta is ready.  This is different from the channa dal kofta we usually prepare.  A tasty dish for rice.
