About Paruppu kanji
Paruppu Kanji is a comforting South Indian dish known for its wholesome simplicity and nourishing properties. Made primarily with lentils (paruppu), rice, and aromatic spices like turmeric, garlic, and curry leaves, this porridge-like preparation is typically slow-cooked to enhance its flavors and digestibility. A staple in Tamil cuisine, Paruppu Kanji is celebrated for its high protein content from the lentils and rich source of dietary fiber, which supports gut health. Turmeric and garlic contribute anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, making this dish a healing choice for those recovering from illness or seeking light, cleansing meals. Often paired with a side of pickle or greens, it provides balanced nutrition. However, its healthfulness may vary depending on the quantity of added salt or ghee used for flavor. Paruppu Kanji exemplifies the principle of clean eating with simple, natural ingredients and minimal processing.
