Beetroot Carrot Mung Parippu Stir Fry

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi September 7, 2021
Beetroot carrot Mung Parippu stir fry

Beetroot Carrot Mung Parippu stir fry? Yes, you heard it right. Instead of a Beetroot carrot Mung Parippu curry I am cooking it as a stirfry! If you are fed up with the most popular beetroot curry or carrot curry in a Sri Lankan meal, then try this stir fry with a handful of mung dhal. It is delicious!

This is another recipe I tried using Sri Lankan spices and ingredients but inspired by Indian recipes. In Sri Lanka, I never came across a dal fry recipe. Instead, we cook dal as a curry with or without tempering it. But, recently I tasted a similar dish from an Indian restaurant and found it delicious. Though I tried to search the recipe over the web typing similar words, I couldn’t find a matching recipe. Finally, I tried it thinking it was cooked as below recipe. (At least similar steps).

Therefore, This Beetroot Carrot Mung Parippu stir fry is an Indian inspired recipe but no Indian spices such as masala powder are used. Try this. I am sure you would love to cook dal stir-fry with beetroot and carrot.

Although in this recipe I used both beetroot and carrot in one dish with moong dal, you can try it with beetroot alone or carrot alone. Instead of moong dal (Mung parippu) , try thor dal (Thora parippu) or channa dal (kadala parippu). I’ve tried all these versions and always the results were awesome.
