Arisiyum Paruppu Sadam Dal Lentil mixed Rice

September 7, 2012 By Sangeetha Priya 14 Comments

Arisi Paruppu Sadam

There is no meaning in saying Kongu foods without this Arisiyum Paruppum Sadham (Arisi Paruppu Sadam) recipe (In Tamil) which means Rice and Dal mixed one pot meal. Whenever I taste Ariseem paruppu sadam, it reminds my childhood days spent with cousins. We all gather on our very first day of vacation

in Mom’s hometown. When grandma asks what special to do, we all say arisiyum paruppu sadam with no second opinion. She makes fresh ghee from the butter collected on the same day, which accompanies well with this rice. aah the flavor still remains in my thought!!! We preferably have this rice for dinner with funny chats…the open place, fresh air, dull light, Bye Bye to noise pollution (can say candle light dinner :-)) makes the dinner delicious. Wow such a lovely memorable days. Those days never come, I wish I get that atmosphere again…
