Paruppu Urundai Kozhambu is a traditional South Indian dish consisting of lentil dumplings (paruppu urundai) simmered in a tangy and spicy tamarind-based gravy (kozhambu).
The dumplings are made from a mixture of soaked and ground lentils (usually a combination of chana dal and urad dal), seasoned with spices like cumin, coriander, and red chili powder, along with onions, garlic, and coconut. These dumplings are then gently cooked in a sauce made from tamarind extract, tomatoes, and a blend of South Indian spices until they absorb the flavors of the gravy.
