Paruppu Urundai Kuzhambu / Paruppu Urundai Kulambu Recipe / Lentil Balls in Tamarind Gravy Recipe
Paruppu Urundai Kuzhambu
Ingredients for paruppu urundai
Soaked thur/thor dal-1/2 cup
Red chillies-2
Jeera-1tsp
Fennel seeds-1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
(Grind all above ingredients to a thick coarse paste without adding water.Mix 3tsp of chopped onions & some coriander leaves mix & shape it into small balls, keep it aside).
Ingredients for gravy ground to a smooth paste
Cinnamon -a small bit
Cloves-2
Tomato -1
Onion chopped-1/2
Grated coconut-3tsp
Fennel seeds-1/4tsp
Coriander powder-1tsp
Chilly powder-1 & 1/2tsp
Salt to taste
( Grind above ingredients to a smooth paste,you can add water while grinding)
Other ingredients
Oil-4tsp
Mustard,jeera,methi -little for tempering
Curry & coriander leaves
Tamarind juice-2 cups
Method
Heat oil in a pan temper it.Add the ground paste & in medium low flame fry till the masala leaves the sides of the pan.Pour the tamarind juice & some water,boil the gravy till raw smell disappears.Now add the paruppu urundai & cook it in low flame till all the balls float on top & gravy is thick.Switch off the stove & garnish it with curry & coriander leaves.Serve it hot with hot rice.
Note:
a) If you are not confident in adding the balls directly into the hot gravy,thinking it will break.Then best you steam it for 1 or 2 minutes & then add them to the boiling gravy.
b) You can add a teaspoon of rice flour to the lentil balls if you think it may break.
c) Some people add thur & channa dhal,i have made both ways didn't find any difference.
d) Add the balls only while the gravy has started to boil,once dropped in reduce the flame to avoid the balls breaking
e) The texture of the balls can also be a bit smooth,but i always grind it coarse.

Thanks for visiting !
