Description
A spicy rice variety cooked with lentil and condiments. | Ingredients-1 | |
|---|---|
| 2 cup | Rice |
| 1 cup | Toor dhal |
| Ingredients-2 | |
|---|---|
| 2 nos | Cloves |
| 1 inch | Cinnamon stick |
| 2 clove | Garlic |
| 2 tsp | Cumin seeds |
| 5 nos | Red chilli |
| 1 no | Tomato (big) |
| 5 tsp | Shredded coconut |
| 2 stks | Curry leaves |
| Ingredients-3 | |
|---|---|
| 1 tsp | Mustard seeds |
| 15 nos | Small onions(shallots or pearl onions) |
| 12 tsp | Oil (for sauteing) |
| 1 tsp | Turmeric powder |
Instructions
1. Clean and soak the rice for 10 minutes. If the kind of toor dhal to be used takes long to get cooked, half-cook it.
2. Grind the things in table-2 to a coarse paste(crushing well is enough), without water.
3. Heat oil in the pressure cooker. Season mustard seeds. Add onions, turmeric powder and 1tsp of salt; saute for a minute.
4. Add the ground paste; saute it till the raw smell goes.
5. Add the soaked rice and dhal. Add water in the usual ratio for rice. For dhal, the water ratio is always 1:2 + 1/4 cup, howmuchever the quantity of dhal is used. Now, check salt and add some more according to the taste. Pressure cook it until the usual length of whistles.
Notes
I used Sona masoori rice. This rice can be cooked with moong, val and red chori(thattai payaru) dhals, too. If it is red chori dhal make sure you cook it as such you can eat it with a hard bite. And the rice dhal ratio will be, 2cups: 3/4th cup. A very filling and tasty recipe. My native people cook it very often. And I wanted to give credit to them by giving the same title they use, instead of "rice dhal pulao" (which I considered). Usually taken with some kind of thuvaiyal. Chips and raitha can be good sides, too.

We done the same in another methoed Instead of Thoor dhall i use Avara paruppu Heat oil in a pan Add musturd , green leaves, cinnamon & clove once splitters Add onions , Garlics & tomatos….Fry till it leaves oil separates.. Add rice and avaraparuppu and water as per your water ratio to cook the rice.. Leave for 3 whizzzz now the rice is ready
hi sugan,
this recipe is one of my favourite. my friend’s mom cooks it for me when we were in cbe. actually i wanted to cook it myself. u have helped me to do that. but i have a doubt in the ratio of water. if i gonna put 2 cups of rice and 1 cup of dhal . how much is the water quantity. i usually keep 1.5 cup of water for 1 cup of rice. is five cups sufficient for the dish.
thanks
mohana
Hi Mohana,
Thank you. Nice to hear from you the flashback. Add 1/4 cup more; i.e, 5 and 1/4 cups in total…Happy cooking…
Sugan, y’day i again made Arisiparuppu satham b’coz of my hubby’s request and i love tooo. You know, it tastes best than my previous trail. When we keep on trying things, it tastes better than the previous one and we would get the best outcome…Thanx for sharing such a traditional and easy receipe – shan
Yeah, Shan. We master everything as we go on. Try reducing dhal ratio, like 4:1, by adjusting other spices…thanks for the fdbk..
Yep, my ratio was 2 cups rice and 1/2 cup dhal. Also i added 2 tsp ghee to enhance the flavour. Anyways, thanx for ur info.
That's good, Shan…
i didnt measure the oil amount… used gingelly oil so i didnt need any side btw..
hi manoo for seasoning u can use cocunut oil
Hellooooooooo, i added more red chilli as i wanna it to be spicy… actually added 12. its awesome…yea also i made the rice: dal 1:1 as i dont like rice… its really awesome….Eating & typing you a msg… i am trying to make it with mysore paruppu as its easy for me to get that one.. let me try… thank you so much…

Hi sugan, I’m done with Paruppu satham…My hubby told it tastes good. Also i added some ghee on it. Thanks for you receipe 🙂
Thank you for the feedback, Shan. Explored good… Actually some people do add ghee, some do butter, etc…
Hi Sugan.. This arisi paruppu satham is soooo tempting.. till now i was thinking that i cant try with big red onions.. Now i’m definitely going to try this week.. I dont use whole garam masala and coconut when making this. Next time i’ll follow ur recipe. THANKS FOR UR POSTING!!!VIJI
Thank you for the comments, Viji. The whole masalas give good flavour and coconut gives it a gravy look and mild richness… Try it and let me know…
Sure Sugan will come back with comments within a week.. And Sugan do you know to make kongu nadu masala. If so please post the recipe!!!VIJI
Sorry, viji. Right now I've no idea. But, what is that? Tell me. I'll found about from my MIL. She would definitely know…
Sugan when i was in India i used to watch TV cooking shows. One guy used to come for Kongu nadu samayal. I forgot his name now. And he use kongu nadu masala/ nanjil nattu masala. He use this masala for all of his recipes. Even i dont know what is in that masala.VIJI
Thanks Viji, I'll find out n let u know…
Thanks Sugan..
VIJI
u r most welcome, Viji…
Hi,
The recipe looks attractive. But I didn’t actually understand the part of 1:2 ratio + 1/4 cup……What is that 1:2 ratio and what is 1/4 cup ingredients? Are u talking about rice+dal or separately. What is that extra 1/4 cup? Please brief it. thanks for the posting
Jas, Thanks for your compliment… That part starts like this, " for dhal,…". By which I meant, howmuchever the quantity of dhal you use, you have to add, double the quantity of water+1/4 cup extra. That is a formula. All you have to do is just follow it for whatever be the quantity of dhal. For example, if you use 1 cup of dhal in the recipe add 2 and 1/4 cups of water; if it is 2 cups of dhal, then 4 and 1/4… Apart from this, add water to rice in the ratio you usually do. I have updated the recipe, now. Please have a look at it and let me know whether your doubt is cleared or not. Thanks for raising the doubt…
Hi Ms.Sugan,
Thanks so much for briefing my doubts. Yeah, i did understand this time. Will try out sometime and let u know the feedback. Other than that, I appreciate ur prompt reply and beautiful posting of pictures. The recipe looks very attractive and tempting to prepare and have it. Thanks again and my wishes for many more posting and dishes. God bless.
Thanks a lllllllllllllllot for such an encouragement, Jas. Its my pleasure to answer you…. MUCH OBLIGED….

rose
Hi Rose, You have to grind the ing. raw… You are welcome…
hi shan check your guestbook
Sugan can i use the regular onion (big one) ? I’m going to make this today for my hubby’s dinner…I will let you know the outcome – shan
Of course, you can, Shan. The reason for using small onions are nothing but those are tastier than the big ones… It'll be my pleasure to know the results…
hi, u r rice looks good . u won`t add vegtables for this rice
Thanks, White. Some people add mixed veggies and some add just potatoes. Can try adding the personal choice…
Sugan, its an ever green dish,pictures make me salivating…….my mo-in-law always tells me to cook ths.but didnt try yet.will give a try n let u know
Thanks, Ramya. Remember, people used to cook this in man chatti which tastes like anything… give it a try…

Thank you, Manoo. I’m sure it will be a good menu for you…
Hi Sugan, Namma ooru samaiyala? Really a tasty and healthy food aaha. Will try soon and let u know. Bye.
Thanks for your comments, Kavi. Namma ooru special gnyabagam vandhudhu. It’s very tasty. After you do it 2 or 3 times you will find out your own proportions which will be much tastier for you. Some people add fennel seeds, too. I practiced this proportion.
Hi Sugan, Wow !! Yummy Rice…Good Keep it up 🙂
Thank you, Shan…
Hi sugan,
So u got it. good, interesting saadam. Waiting for more recipes from u. More healthy one I think u r more health concious.
Thanks Latha… done with ur help to insert the photos… Of cousre, I'm health conscious. 12 tsp of oil is the only thing to consider… but, the rice will be very dry without that… will post more…
Hi Sugan
