Paruppu Keerai Masiyal Video Recipe

August 6, 2019 By Sangeetha Priya 2 Comments

Paruppu Keerai Masiyal (in Tamil) is a mix of dal with spinach. Its such a healthy dish which goes very well with Rice, Roti and sometimes we eat with dosa as well. This Paruppu Keerai Masiyal version uses minimal ingredients, not overloaded with sambar powder nor garam masala. Zero tomatoes used in this dish also you can skip onion. It tastes excellent and whenever I share this masiyal with neighbors / friends around or make for parties I get appreciation always.

Few asked for the recipe, so before posting here I gave the recipe to some and they said it turned out great after trying it out. With best reviews from friends for this recipe I am sharing one of my kids favorite dish today. If you heard Kongunadu Uppu Paruppu (no tomato no onion dal dish) then this is related to it with healthy spinach addition. Since we have summer now I am getting more garden yields in my backyard, so I alter dal and spinach each time I make. The below lunch plate has Moong Dal with Gongura with mild tomato and sambar powder, this is my old version recipe HERE.
