Mudda Pappu Recipe is one of the South Indian Andhra Recipe usually made with Tur dal (kandhi pappu in Telugu) or red gram lentil.

It is one of the protein-rich recipes, no Andhra thali is complete without this recipe. Andhra people believe that Mudda Pappu recipe and avakai pacchadi (mango pickle) is the best combination.

I have seen many people like to add one spoon of ghee along with this combination as it enhances the flavor of this recipe. Preparation of Andhra Mudda Pappu is very simple and needs very fewer ingredients.

From many years Andhra people feed their child with this recipe combined with ghee to grow their child mass as its rich in protein and its natural food.

The secret behind adding ghee with this dal recipe is protein need the little amount of fat to get digested.

In South India, never Andhra thali is fulfilled without this recipe in it. Usually, there will be rice, dal, pickle, curd, papad etc.

Andhra people like to have nutritious food so they include min 2-3 varieties of curries and at last, have curd to digest easily.
