Parippu Lentil Curry is a traditional Sri Lankan dish celebrated for its simplicity and vibrant flavors. Made primarily with red lentils, the curry is simmered in coconut milk and flavored with fragrant spices such as turmeric, cumin, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, often complemented by garlic and onion. This comforting dish is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine, typically served alongside rice or flatbreads. Packed with plant-based protein from lentils, Parippu is a nutritious choice, providing essential amino acids, dietary fiber, and a range of vitamins and minerals like iron and folate. The addition of turmeric lends anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, while coconut milk contributes healthy fats, though it should be consumed in moderation due to its caloric density. Low-calorie, naturally gluten-free, and vegan-friendly, this curry offers a flavorful taste of Sri Lanka with wholesome benefits that support a balanced diet.
