About Paruppu usli

Paruppu Usli is a traditional South Indian dish, often enjoyed as a protein-rich side in Tamil cuisine. It is made by blending coarsely ground steamed lentils, typically toor dal (pigeon peas) or chana dal (split chickpeas), with crumbled sautéed vegetables like green beans or cabbage. The mixture is lightly seasoned with mustard seeds, dried red chilies, curry leaves, and turmeric, creating a flavorful yet wholesome texture. Paruppu Usli stands out for its high protein content, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins from the lentils and vegetables. It is a great plant-based option for balanced nutrition, supporting digestion and energy. However, care should be taken with portion sizes, as it can include coconut oil or traditional fats that elevate calorie density. When prepared mindfully, Paruppu Usli is a nourishing and satisfying dish that complements health-conscious meals beautifully.
