South Indian Thali

Here is one more thali which MIL prepared on each Tuesday. Paruppu is a very important gravy in our household. MIL often prepared this. When I came home after marriage, my SILs warned me not to prepare paruppu, because K hates it. But I was confident in turning him around and I should say I succeeded. MIL prepared paruppu with a simple mustard and curry leaves seasoning and so K felt that it was a bit bland. So I prepared it a little spicy. At mom’s place, we add a lot of green chillies, onion and coriander leaves that the bland paruppu becomes flavorful and delicious. When hubby relished the paruppu I prepared MIL was shocked. Until the day she expired she told me about his hate for paruppu and how I changed it. Even she liked the way I prepare. Butter beans poriyal and cheeni avaraikai poriyals are his other favorites. I have given the recipe of MIL for those. We had a hearty lunch with this spread. K enjoyed it a lot.
