Hi Friend,
For Parippuvada FYI, we use Bengal Gram ( Kadalaparippu) instead of Red Gram (Thovaraparippu)
shud add 2 green chillies chopped,few mint leaves chopped and 1/4 tsp of garam masala powder to this…it will b gr8 if u add these
hi,someone pls tell me what is this masoor dal?
Please avoide masoor dal.
how to “as required” pls spec correct amount
thanks
Instead of saying “as required” can you specify some amount? This did not help me at all.
I used blackchanna instead of masoordal.Finally it became ullivada coz it was made into a paste.so please dontt make it into a paste.just crush it without adding water.
I think its nice, but let me try it.. after that i will say..
Thanks for the recipe..
Why not try with chana dal instead of red gram and masoor dals? And with the onions and others put 5-6 black pepper corns, it adds to the taste.
use Kadalaparippu(Chanadal)insted of both dals..
Great…..
u can replace both the dals with chana dal
good recipe. but can be improved
very good recipe.came out well.thanks ®ards.
this is a very good recipe
Can enhance the taste and flavour by adding a few minced corriander+curry leaves
great recipe…easy and simple thanks!!
hey gud one but can me made a little more spicy…….
Very good recipe. Suggestion: two dried red chillies, soaked and ground with the dals in place of red chilli powder gives the vada a true kerala taste.
Really gr8tt recipe…my first try of making parripu vada…and it became awesomee..thanks a lot…
Hi.. the recipe is in general fine, but I think it will be even better to use a meat grinder to grind the soaked dal instead of using the food processor. Also instead of using red chilli powder it might be better to use red dried chillies which when fried gives out a special flavour and taste.
welcome for more items
yummy!!
my husband is a fan of parippuvada, finally I could please him. Now he ask me to make it every weekend .. Thanks
masoor dal is the orange dal
I used split peas instead of both dals and it turned out to be excellent. Looks like I`ll be making parippu vada more frequently now. Thanks a lot.
