This is more of a fusion of parupu urundai kuzhambu and rasa vadai from Tamil Nadu. Tastes surprisingly great and goes well with rice. Whenever the parupu urundai kuzhambu is made, you can just make a little more of the lentil dumplings and can cook it in the rasam. If not bothered about the calories try deep frying the lentil balls before cooking in rasam. If there are any left over paripu vada add it to rasam, along with the lentil dumplings.

Parupu urundai kuzhambu or lentil dumplings in tamarind and coconut sauce, is a traditional recipe from TamilNadu. The sauce can be altered according to your taste, by varying the spice level. But the lentil dumplings are almost the same standard version. If your ground mixture turns out watery add a bit of rice flour before it is steamed. But it is tastier better if the lentil dumplings are cooked in the sauce itself. For that in a non-stick pan, add a teaspoon of oil and fry the mixture till it is hard enough to roll into small balls and by then all the water would have been evaporated and the mixture is half cooked. Now add the lentil dumplings in the sauce and allow it cook fully. Serve with hot steamed rice and pappad.
