Thuvaram Paruppu (Thurdal) Pongal,



Thuvaram Paruppu (Thurdal) Pongal, 

Perfect breakfast dish!

A variation from conventional pongal with rich flavour of dal and peanuts! 

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 ponga, 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. 

Preparation and Yield:

Preparation time 5 mins

Cooking Time 45 mins

Servings 4

Ingredients:

Raw Rice 1 Cup*

Thurdal 1/2 Cup

Peanuts 1 tablespoon

Salt To taste

Pepper 1/2 teaspoon

Cumin Seeds 1/2 teaspoon

Curry Leaves few

Ghee 2 tablespoon

*1 cup = 250ml

Method:

Take rice and thurdal in a vessel. 

Rinse the rice and dal twice and add 4.5 cups of water along with salt and 
pressure cook it allowing for 4-5 whistles. 

While the rice and dal is getting cooked, take the peanuts in the mixer and give a pulse or two just to crush the peanuts. 

Do not grind it to a smooth powder. 

If you have a mortar and pestle, you can crush the peanuts using that.

Then take the pepper and cumin seeds and grind it to a coarse powder

Saute it for 20 seconds. Add the mashed rice and dal to the pan. Give it a good mix. 

Then add pepper-cumin coarse powder and mix well. Switch off the flame

The yummy Thurdal Pongal (Thuvaram Paruppu) Pongal is now ready to serve!.

The best combination for this pongal is Coconut chutney and Sambar.
