Tomato Pappu/ Tomatillo Pappu/  Thakkali paruppu kadaiyal/ Green tomato dal

   

  Pappu or paruppu dont want any brief introduction,  most of Indian cuisine have this comforting recipe! Every household in India prepare this dish differently to their family taste. The recipe which I shared is from inlaws family prepared traditionally in Andhra Style! You can also use dosa kai and other vegetables except okra to prepare this dish. This is my day 1 post for BM#108, week 2 under Pick one state theme.  I choose Andhra Pradesh state as my theme for this week. Please do check  what other Blogging Marathon friends doing this week.
