Parippu Curry, a beloved Kerala staple, is a comforting and flavorful dish made with moong dal (cheruparuppu) cooked with tempered spices and coconut. It is a traditional side dish served with rice, especially during the Onam Sadya feast. The curry's smooth, creamy texture comes from the mashed dal, while the aromatic tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and small onions adds a rich, savory flavor. The addition of grated coconut, cumin, and green chili gives the curry a distinctive Kerala taste, balancing the warmth of the spices with a mild sweetness from the coconut.The moong dal is first roasted to bring out its aroma and then pressure-cooked with turmeric and salt until soft. After mashing, the dal is simmered with a ground coconut paste, which thickens the curry and enhances its richness. The final touch is a flavorful tempering made with mustard seeds, curry leaves, red chili, and small onions, fried in coconut oil and poured over the curry, adding a burst of fragrance and heat. Whether cooked in a pressure cooker, a pot, or an instant pot, Parippu Curry is a versatile and comforting dish that pairs perfectly with hot rice for a satisfying meal.
