When it comes to weekend cooking or quick weeknight dishes, I prefer one-pot meals. Arisi paruppu sadham is one such dish which is traditionally prepared in our house as a quick one. It is native to the Kongu region of South India. This is one of the dishes which I used to dislike during my childhood days. But I started liking it as days passed and when I was away from home for job. Those were the days when we used to long for home-cooked food and just being at home feels so good. This is a wholesome dish by itself and does not need any elaborate cooking process.
