Paruppu sevai/ Paruppu Idiyappam is an easy to make savory dish prepared with lentils/ dal and Indian rice noodles called as Idiyappam/ sevai. I prepared this dish with Instant idiyappam but when you prepare it with freshly made string hopper/ Idiyappam using rice flour it will be more yummy. For this recipe I used toor dal but you can make it by using moong dal as well. This recipe is from my mom, whenever she makes sevai/ Idiyappam she makes 4 varieties, lemon sevai, coconut sevai, paruppu sevai and sweet sevai. I have always seen my mom use that traditional idiyappam maker to make fresh idiyappam and it tastes heaven. This sevai can be prepared for breakfast/ dinner and needs no side dish. So let’s get to the making!

In a pressure cooker add washed toor dal, 1 cup water and salt. Pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles until cooked and slightly soft. Keep the cooked dal aside.
In a pan of hot water add instant idiyappam and cover it with a lid and cook for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes when idiyappam looks cooked drain the water and keep the sevai aside.
Heat a pan with oil add mustard seeds, urad dal, hing, red chili and curry leaves. When the dal turns golden brown add cooked dal, turmeric powder and salt. Give it a quick stir.
Now add the cooked idiyappam. Mix well. Now add grated coconut and mix well gently. Serve it hot!
