It is a southindian sweet. Mostly prepared during festival like DIWALI.

If you have diabetes, this is an ideal appetizer for you. When you’re eating too much hot and oily stuff, this soup seems to cool down your body system. It’s a great soup to add to your daily meals or at least twice a week. Wonderful recipe which I happened to learn from my mom. Use your imagination, add in a couple of veggies to reduce the bitterness and to enhance the taste. Notoriously bitter of all vegetables, so, I have added lots of ripe tomatoes (canned) to make it more like tomato soup, but not really necessary.
Paruppu usili is a south Indian dish often made with green beans, but here I have tried it with Okra(Vendakkai), which is a rare combination I suppose, but still worth a try. (Okra paruppu usili / Ladies finger paruppu usili)
Combination of ground onion and fresh pepper black peppercorns makes this masala a spicy treat for any rice item.
