sorakaya pappu is made with toor dal alone, but i don’t like the quality of toor dal available in Singapore, so I use a mixture of toor dal and moong dal, you can use any dal of your choice. Adding even little moong dal gives a good taste to the sorakaya pappu. You can even cook green chilies along with dal, but I add them during tempering, so that I can set aside my kids portion before adding chili. Adding tamarind to the tempering gives a good tamarind flavour to the dal that doesn’t come when cooked together with dal. related recipe : sorakaya kootu for more andhra pappu recipe , checkgongura papputomato pappumoong dal recipepalakura pappubeerakaya pappugummadikaya pappu
