Cabbage Pappu | Cabbage Dal

by Jiya Jesh · Updated on August 16, 2022 Curries/ Gravies| South Indian Recipes

Cabbage pappu / cabbage dal recipe – a delicious Andhra style cabbage and lentils curry. This South Indian dal curry is easy and quick to make. I have used moong dal or split yellow mung lentils to make this dal and it has no coconut added to it.

When looking for a wholesome and quick lunch, I usually end up making dal with veggies added to it. It is healthier and certainly a great way to finish off those few remaining vegetables after using them in other curries.

I usually like to prepare a simple kootu like carrot kootu to go with rice for lunch.

This cabbage pappu is a simple and quick dal in which split yellow moong dal and chopped cabbage are added to the pressure cooker. Once the dal is cooked, just temper the dal with the seasoning. This will give a nice flavor to the dal.

The amount of oil or ghee required for this recipe is less and is basically used only for tempering the pappu. This cabbage dal goes equally well with rice or chapathi.
