Can I Use Yellow Split Peas in Paruppu Urundai instead of Toor Dal
Paruppu Urandai, is a Tamilian (Iyengar/South Indian) Recipe. It uses Thuvara or Tur Dal (Arhar Dal). Now substituting Tur Dal with Yellow Peas, wouldn't be right choice.
Tur has a special flavour, which is retained even after it turns to Cereal or Cooked. But the Pea looses its flavour when it turns to Cereal, it turns tasteless.
So Tur's unique flavour that is retained even after cooking impacts the overall flavour of dish.
