Tomato Pappu Recipe ! South India Style Toor Dal Recipe

Rinse the split pigeon peas under running water until the water runs clear.

In a pressure cooker, add the rinsed pigeon peas, water, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for about 3-4 whistles until soft.

In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them splutter.

Add the chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and blend with the onions.

Once the pigeon peas are cooked, add them to the pan with the tomato-onion mixture. Stir well to combine.

Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed, and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
