Spice up your dal dinners with this regional speciality.
No matter where you go in India, you’re sure to find dal. It’s the kind of versatile staple that can carry you through breakfast, lunch and dinner and still leave you craving more. Every region has its own special additions and recipes for every occasion like Bengali Cholar Dal or Parsi Mori Dal, but all of them are relished with the same enthusiasm.
Andhra Pradesh too has its own take on dal which is Tomato Pappu. The name ‘Pappu’ comes from Telugu and it’s just another word for lentils. One of the daily indulgences of people from the state, this simple dish consists of pigeon pea lentils (tur dal) and a blend of tomatoes, spices and other additions to create something full of flavour.
