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.

There are varieties of dhal available. But the most commonly used dhal is ‘Maysoor dhal’, which is imported from India.

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.

In the down south people are used to add another type of chilli which is called Kochchi in to this dish that gives a uniqueness in the traditions from down south. I have mainly used tumaric,chilli,onion,garlic and coconut milk in this dish and not forgetting cinnamon.
Take a tour in sri lanka and enjoy the varieties of dhall around our country…..more details and recipes visit chef Duminda
