Whenever my sister anu says, she fed her kid paruppu sadam, i used to think it as rice mixed with dal and ghee. When Sharmi blogged arisi paruppu sadam, i liked it much and was telling about it to my sis. then she told thats what she was feeding her kid often. she told the recipe in a flow. i straight went into the kitchen and made in minutes. Now i have prepared this several times. this is such a easy, pretty fast meal, which you can serve your kids wholeheartedly with lots of ghee.


I prefer to serve this sadam with egg poriyal or appalam. even potato roast will make a nice combination to this rice.


I tried out making video, it was just a trial, please excuse this very very amateur video, as its shot from one hand as the other hand was cooking! sure will get a tripod soon and make better videos in future.

Notes:

You can omit mustard and urad dal and add cinnamon , bayleaf and cloves as tempering. it will be of a different taste. This is ideal for lunch boxes. so on a busy weekday, you can make this in minutes and pack for your kids.
