            Paruppu Thuvaiyal  is one of the easiest and simple healthy recipe. whenever i was not feeling well or on some lazy days I make this paruppu thuvaiyal  for lunch to go with plain rice or any variety rice instead of sambar/rasam/poriyal. Some times this paruppu thuvaiyal n curd alone gives a complete satisfactory lunch u know??  My grand mom use Ammi to grind the chutney with very little water ..that thuvaiyal tastes so good n divine to me. But here no ammi n aatukkal so used blender which requires some water to run the mixie....Grind little coarsely and enjoy the crunchy taste of roasted dal...Mmmm...
