Thakkali Pasiparuppu Kotsu / Tomato Moong dal Kotsu



This Thakkali pasiparupu kotsu , I usually make it little bit runny and use it as a gravy...It goes well with both rice and chapathis...The amount of moong dal should be less than the tomatoes...Don't cook the dal very mushy...shape of dal should be seen her and there...You can use it as a side dish for rice also....In that case, make it a bit more dry...Now let's see the recipe...
