Ammi's Parippu


1 1/4 c dhal (rinsed 3 times in clean water-in between rinses, agitate and squeeze with your hands-you are trying to get the bubblees out of the water when you are agitating the dhal in water)
1/3 large red onion-chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic-chopped
1 green chili, (take out seeds) chopped (be careful that the chili isn't a super hot one-the ones that are the size of your finger are best)
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1 t tumeric
1/2 t salt
3/4 T chili powder (this makes it pretty spicy-adjust to your taste)
1 c coconut milk

After rinsing the dhal, put it in a saucepan. (I rinse the dhal in the saucepan to begin with.) After final rinsing of dhal, add salt, and 3 T red onion, tumeric, chili powder, 2 c water, coconut milk. Stir. Cover and cook on high heat until boiling, stirring occasionally, and then uncover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5 mins. Don't stir too much, the dhal will break. Ammi stirs the surface only very lightly, bringing the spoon up occasionally. You can taste it now. Ammi drops a little into the palm of her hand to do this. Then reduce heat to low for 2-5 mins until dhal absorbs the liquid, but not completely. Serves 8.
