About Paruppu Usili Recipe
Parupp usilli is a popular Tamil dish. Its made by frying toor dal and Bengal gramme dal with red chilies and french beans/cluster beans/plantain flowers, then seasoning it with asafoetida, curry leaves, and mustard seeds. During a meal, it is usually served with rice and mor kuzhambu.
The combination of little crispy and spicy dal cooked along with the soft tender beans was amazing. It goes perfectly with any spicy gravies. You can check out all the kulambu recipe here.
Ingredients for Parupppu Usili Recipe
Green Beans:
Green Beans have a sweet flavour and cook quickly. So, while you can cook potatoes and beans together, the beans will overcook and lose their natural colour and flavour.
Dry Red Chilli :
Dry red chilli is a condiment that enhances the flavour and colour of food. It contains medicinal and hom*oeopathic properties. We provide red chillies that are uniform in shape and size. It is mostly used to season foods. The chillies have a strong flavour.

As an indian food lover from the Netherlands , I just prepared this dish and I liked it very much. I added fried onions though. One thing I don't understand : often there is one or two teaspoons urad dal reqired in recipes, what is the influence of such a small amount urad dal on the recipe. Can somebody explain this to me ?
