Seeraalam

I heard this Seeraalam for the first time from my husband. I didn’t have any clue about what sort of a dish it is.It is the favourite dish of my husband and his siblings. An absolutely unique recipe from my Mother-In-Law. Once I tasted it I found it to be an innovative dish. It is healthy too since it is made of lentils.The ingredients are almost similar to moopparuppu adai. Once you are done with the preparation you will definitely agree with me that this is nothing but adai upma.
