About Pappu charu
Pappu Charu is a traditional lentil-based soup from Andhra Pradesh, India, celebrated for its tangy and flavorful profile. Made with cooked toor dal (split pigeon peas), tamarind, and a blend of spices like turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, this dish is often enriched with seasonal vegetables such as drumsticks, tomatoes, and okra. It shares similarities with sambar but lacks the addition of sambar powder, giving it a lighter, more refreshing taste. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients from lentils and vegetables, Pappu Charu is a wholesome dish that supports digestion and provides sustained energy. The tamarind contributes antioxidants and aids in liver health. However, the sodium content could be higher depending on seasoning levels, and care is needed to moderate oil use during preparation. Pair it with steamed rice for a nourishing, balanced meal rooted in South Indian culinary tradition.
