Simple dal goes for an easy preparation,u dont need to grind or cook for hours, this pappu goes for simple ingredients and simple cooking process...U can prepare this pappu even if u r in hurry, which tastes absolutely marvellous and comforting, serve them along with hot steaming rice,some spicy mango pickles and papads nothing will beat this combo, wonder how i missed to post this pappu coz i make them quite often whenever i feel lazy..While going through Harini & Jaya's Tamalapaku, i was quite surprised to see their new event,where they both want to plan a menu and post atleast a recipe with few vegetables like okra, bottlegourd,spinach, some fruits like bananas and apples,toordal,oats and whole wheat flour..I was happy to design my menu with those ingredients and veggies they have asked us to cook or plan a menu..I come up with my 3 course vegetarian meal and am posting my bottlegroud dal as a per event's rules..
1)Onion & Oats soup as starter
2)Sorrakaya Pappu/Bottlegourd Dal
3)Okra curry
4)Spinach Masiyal , these three dishes for main course along rice
5)Oats,Apple & Wheat flour Halwa as dessert
