I tried the same exact way,but if you put that much turmeric all u can taste & smell is turmeric.Otherwise it is ok.
Kerala style parippu curry is made with moong dal. Not Thoor dal. I am sure the recipe works well, but you will not get the dish you intended to make if you change the fundamental ingredient.
