Method:
Soak the dals and millets or rice for 3-4 hours, if using millets , wash and soak seperately for 6-8 hours .

Add salt, asafoetida powder, cumin seeds , chopped onions wither in the batter or seperately as a garnish to be sprinkled on the pesarattu after it is cooked on one side .

A nostalgic, basic Tamil Paruppu Podi recipe from my mother’s handwritten notes from 1995. Just 4 ingredients — toor dal, pepper, red chilli and salt. My go-to comfort meal with hot rice and ghee.
