Only when I started blogging, I came to know that ulli theeyal is a kerala recipe. But the wonder here is, I prepare this gravy very often at my home without knowing the fact. This recipe is from my mom, who prepares this gravy every week with plain dal and carrot poriyal as the default combination. This combo is my family's favorite and sometimes we demand, home made fried pappadam from her. Try this combo when you bored of... you can feel the heaven. Now, read below to see how I prepare it!!!
