    Kollu Urundai Kuzhambu

    This recipe is a traditional recipe which comes from my grandma, i would say it is almost a forgotten recipe. I am bringing it back to life. Many of my viewers asked me to post more  Horse gram / Kollu / Kanam Recipes. So was hunting for recipes using that. When i asked my grandma whether she has any recipes using that. she gave me this one.

    I decided to make it the next day itself. Asked hubby to get me a packet of horse gram. I made this kuzhambu, boiled some horse gram and made rasam and sundal using that. So now i have 2 more recipes to share with you..You can check out my horse gram powder, horse gram thogayal and other horse gram recipes too..

     

    Horse Gram is a type of millet and it is really good for diet, for losing weight. So nowadays people of including that in their diet. This gravy is a great recipe, because it taste great plus it taste amazing. This recipe is similar to my paruppu urundai kuzhambu, but the gravy is made with roasted coconut just like my kadala theyal and ulli theyal.

    • Horse Gram / Kollu - 1 cup roasted
    • Fresh Coconut - 1 tblspn grated
    • Garlic - 2 cloves
    • Salt to taste
    • Dry Red Chilli - 1 or 2
    • Tamarind Pulp - 3 tblspn or 1 small lemon size ball
    • Water - 3 cups

    I was so excited to use the gold plated bowls which my hubby got for me from russia. You must have seen the whole set if you are on my friends list in facebook.

    How to make Kollu Urundai Kuzhambu

    1. Roast horse gram in a dry pan till you get nice aroma..
    2. Take horse gram in a bowl, wash them well, soak them in hot boiling water for 1 hour
    3. Heat oil in a kadai. Add in grated coconut and curry leaves. Roast them on medium high heat till it is golden brown. Once it reaches dark brown, add in coriander powder and chilli powder and fry for a min. Take it off the heat and add it to blender and leave it cool. Puree them smoothly.
    4. Take them in the same kadai, add in water and tamarind pulp(if using fresh tamarind, soak them in water and squeeze the pulp from it and add it). Add in salt and bring everything to a boil.
    5. While the gravy is boiling, make the horse gram mix. Take soaked, drained horse gram in a blender and add in other ingredients to it. Puree them smoothly into a thick paste by adding very little water. Take them in a bowl.
    6. Now the gravy must be boiling. It should boil vigourously, now you will see bubbles forming in them, you have to drop small balls of the horse gram in to the bubbles..Wherever the bubbles form you have to add the dumplings.
