How to Cook Pappucharu - Dal Curry
- Peel and cut the onion lengthways, peel and finely chop the garlic, slit the red chilies lengthways and slice the tomato into four. Place a large frying pan (skillet) on a medium heat, add the vegetable oil and, when warm, add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, onion, garlic, red chilies, coriander seeds and split red gram.
- Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the split gram turns from yellow to light brown. Stir in the water and allow the ingredients cook gently for 15-20 minutes. Once the pulses become softer add in the tomato and cook for a further 5 minutes over a medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Using a sieve, drain all the liquid into a bowl. Add the tamarind to the cooked pulses and blend well using a hand blender. Return the cooking liquid from the bowl to the blended pulses and bring to the boil. Serve hot with Steamed Rice.

Take care to add the tamarind only after the pulses are well cooked. Adding tamarind too earlier will stop the pulses from cooking.
