Parippu curry is yet another simple kerala dish which is quick and easy to make. This rich and creamy curry is a must have for sadhya (Feast- Lunch) and is easy to make. This instant pot curry is made with Parippu/ Moong dal/ Yellow lentils combined with coconut and spices. We love having it with Aviyal, thoran and rice. A must have dal or lentils curry which is flavourful and easy to make.
Lets see how its done.Ingredients: Serves 4

- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 dry red chillies
- 1 sprig curry leaves

- Dry roast the dal for 3-4 minutes or until nice aroma comes. The dal should not change color. (I usually have them roasted and store)
- Once cool, wash the dal and pressure cook with 2 cup water and turmeric powder for 3 whistles or until soft. Mash the dal and set aside.
- Meanwhile, grind coconut, green chillies and cumin seeds, garlic (optional) to a smooth paste adding water as required.
- Once the dal is cooked, open the cooker and add the coconut paste, salt and mix well. Bring to boil for few minutes, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds. When it splutters add red chillies, curry leaves and shallots.
- Fry the shallots till soft. Pour over the dal and mix.
