Paruppu Urundai Kuzhambu is a traditional recipe of Tamil Nadu, which is made with steamed Paruppu / lentil balls and then added to a spicy tangy curry base , served over rice or as a side dish for idli / Dosa / Chapathi. Paruppu urundai / lentil balls is first seasoned and then steamed to get nice flavor and taste. We can either steam the balls or it can be directly added to the curry, some people prefer to fry but I simply love to steam the balls so that we get perfect shape and the balls doesn't break.This Paruppu Urundai Kulambu is an excellent recipe which is very nutritious and can be made quite easily and tastes absolutely delicious.

Notes:
- I have used 3/4 cup toor dal and 1/4 cup channa dal you can adjust the ratio according to your taste or you can also make simply with toor dal or channa dal.
- We can add the balls directly into the gravy as well without steaming
- Adding some urundai mix directly to the gravy thickens the base and gives nice taste to the recipe.
- At the end you can add a piece of jaggey to adjust the sourness from the tamarind.
- This paruppu Urundai Kuzhamu tastes wonderful when served on the next day as well.
