Kandi Pappu Pulusu Recipe | How to make Kandi Pappu Pulusu | (Toor Dal Stew)

Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is kandi pappu pulusu. Kandi pappu means toor dal in Hindi or red gram in English. A simple stew made toor dal and some spices is what is kandi pappu pulusu. Kandi pappu pulusu recipe is special to eastern parts of Andhra. We need to prepare a special masala powder for this soup. Kandi pappu pulusu won't taste like sambar as we roast the toor dal and made the recipe. Some people do not add onion also in this but I prefer to add onions so that we get nice taste of onions mixed with the masala. Actual pulusu recipe doesn't need dal but some of them call for little dal into it.
