Paruppu usili is a traditional dish that is generally served in feasts and weddings. It gives a spicy change from the usual bland curry made with beans, cabbage, cluster beans etc.
Though this dish is served in special occasions, i make it quite often at home as it is my husband's favourite. This dish became very popular among my husband's friend- i once served paruppu usili when they had come over to our place for lunch. They took a great liking to this dish and i got great compliments :-)
Generally mom makes paruppu usili with mor kuzhambu which is supposed to be a very good combo.
