Microwave Beans Paruppu Usli | Step by Step Recipes

Happy Sri Rama Navami to all my readers!

Panakam and Vada pappu are the Neivedyam that I made for today. Please check last year's Srirama Navami Pooja for the recipes.


Beans Paruppu Usili is one of my favorite poriyals that gets featured much in Tamil weddings. I make this poriyal in couple of different ways. Making it in Microwave was quite easy and you can spend your time doing something else.

Traditionally you steam the lentils before grating them. That version will follow suit. For today you can enjoy the microwave version.

Lataji wanted us to make a lunch box menu using Microwave for Microwave Easy Cooking event that she is guest hosting. And I am delighted to send her this dish.

End of the cooking time, it has to appear well done, check and keep it for another minute if required.
Add the cooked beans to the dal and microwave for another 2 mins.

Mix well and it's all done.
Since I wanted it to come out very dry, I used the tray and spread it over it and microwaved for a minute. Though this is metal, for a minute using it is not a problem.
