ReplyDeleteYummy....i like it the best with our green cheera. I also love the parippu and muringa ila curry...miss all those now...i have to do with frozen spinach here :-(
ReplyDeletethis is a favourite bachelor's preperation ..i normally sprinkle corainder leaves on top of it as well..
ReplyDeleteAnu, parippu cheera is one of my favts. first cook the dal and when it is done, add spinach and cook for 5 minutes with open lid. This will help in retaining the green colour of spinach. I have never made this without grinding the coconut. shall try your version too!
