豆類
This dish is first among accompaniments for main dishes like rice, Roti (bread) and adai (pan- cakes). It is very delicious and gives strength to the body. This is mostly prepared using Split pigeon pea/toor dal. But in practice, Petite yellow lentils/ yellow moong dal or Split Black Gram/Urad dal are also used. Those from the Malayaala state prepare horse gram lentils as accompaniment for kanji(porridge) as a prominent dish. Hence, the proverb “kanjikku kaanankondaattam” came into existence.

等主食的第一道配菜。此菜類品非常美味，
給身體帶來力量。多數情況以木豆備製。
但在實踐中，也使用小黃扁豆／黃孟恩豆
或印度黑豆瓣。來自馬來亞拉州的人以硬
皮豆 (horse gram lentils) 配粥（kanji），乃一
道名菜。因此，諺語「硬皮豆配粥 kanjikku
kaanankondaattam」應運而生。
