Arisi Paruppu is a traditional South Indian dish, particularly popular in Tamil Nadu cuisine. It is a simple and nutritious rice and lentil preparation, often flavored with turmeric, cumin, and a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and chili. The dish combines protein-rich yellow lentils (typically toor dal) and carbohydrate-packed white rice, making it a wholesome meal that supports energy and muscle repair. The use of turmeric adds anti-inflammatory properties, while the spices enhance digestion. Arisi Paruppu is light on oil, making it relatively low in fat, depending on preparation. It’s also suitable for vegetarians and can be adapted for vegan diets. However, its nutritional balance may benefit from the addition of vegetables or a protein side dish, as it’s primarily carb-centered. It is easy to digest, making it ideal for kids or those recovering from illness. Simple yet satisfying, it's a staple of healthful Southern Indian home cooking.
