Pappu is nothing but Dal cooked on its own or with some vegetables or edible greens, is a classic Andhra cuisine is spicy and delicious! A dry curry and different podis and pappad are like heaven have come down to earth.
Increase or Decrease chilies or Tamarind according to individual taste
You can use Red chili powder instead of Red Chilies
When using Tomatoes check the sourness of the fruit and add Tamarind, you can also use Green gram dal with this instead of Tuvar Dal
Swapna's mum even told me you can omit dhania, jeera and chili powder and add Dhaniyalu podi in it. This podi I will be posting it in my Masala powder Recipes.
