"Paruppuusali"- made in Microwave- Dal cooked in Microwave for green veg.

I took chana dal 75 gms, arhar dal 75 gms. saoked both together for about 3 hours, then ground it with 2" ginger, 5 garlic pearls, 7 green chilies, with minimum water & salt. Then i put it in a greased microwave dish, adding wee bit water. As when it is cooked in microwave, it becomes too dry before getting cooked. Those who don't have microwave, can steam it in idli plates for 15 minutes. I kept it in microwave for 6 min., stirring after every 2 minutes, then it will become like in the 2nd picture dry & you can see it cooked. then about 2 tsp of oil is taken, do tadka/season with 1/2 mustard seeds & 1/4 tsp hing, put this mixture well crumbled & mix well for 2-3 minutes. This is mixed with green vegetables like  French beans, cluster beans or green lobia, cabbage, cow pea beans, banana flower. These vegetables are cooked in water with salt & turmeric pdr. & drained, especially cluster beans if you're using, as it has a slightly bitter taste. Then the vegetable is mixed with the dal mixture, mix well & serve with rice & onion 'vathak kulambu', i.e., sambar without dal, the recipe was given earlier.                                 ps- ginger & garlic when added to it helps in digestion, as also garlic has anti-cancer properties. Green chilies when used instead of red chilies, is rich in Vit. C. the other riches source of Vit. C is 'amla'/ gooseberry 1 of it is enough to provide the Vit C we need each day.Whenever you eat those foods which are rich in iron, remember to have Vit C in some form with your food that day, as then only your body can absorb the iron from the food, so it can be amla/ lime pickle.
