This is a very famous dish in sri lanka. Its well known by its name ‘Dhal Curry’ or ‘Parippu Hodda’. In sri lanka we are used to have this dish in our all three meals.
I love to have the spicy dhal curry with red rice. You can temper the dhall separately or you can temper the dhal at beginning. Here i have tempered the spices separately and then added them on top. When the mustard & cumin seeds blend with dhal…it gives you a fabulous taste.
