Paruppu (cooked Moong dal) is a quintessential Indian dish which has numerous variations based on geographical locations (varies between different states/culture). It is a very simple dish to make. I would say, Paruppu is one of the first dishes that you learn to make when you start learning to cook. So in a way cooking Paruppu is like rite of passage to become a cook :)
