ABOUT Mudda pappu RECIPE

Mudda in Telugu means a lump. This is the simplest dal that can ever be prepared, it can be mixed directly with rice or mixed as a supplement along with various kinds of rasam, charu, pacchi pulusu varieties. In rural Telangana region, jowar rotis and white rice are eaten with mudda pappu and pacchi pulusu. When mixed with rice, a dash of ghee/white butter enhances the taste exponentially.

Instructions

Clean and wash the toor dal.Soak it for an hour.
Put the dal in a cooker along with turmeric powder and a little water. Pressure cook this till 1 whistle blows.
Once the pressure releases, mash the dal, add salt as per taste and mix it well.
Simmer this dal to get a desired consistency, usually mudda pappu is a little thick than regular dal. So, make sure to add enough water while boiling the dal.
A simple tadka with mustard/cumin seeds, curry leaves can be added to the dal, however this is optional.
