Ulundu Choru Recipe – Ulundhu Saadam Recipe – Urad Dal Rice in Pressure Cooker
Healthy and highly nutritious ulundu sadham or urad dal rice which is easy to make and taste delicious with dal curry, egg avial or nattu kozhi kuzhambu.
This is a common dish in my house. We make it atleast twice a month. It is packed with nutrients and health property. There is two version of this, we make kanji out of this.

Hi Aarthi, I was a bit hesitant about this recipe because I felt how the taste will be due to the black urad dal. But since it is healthy for girls, I thought I should give a try. It was a quick and easy recipe to make. It turned out so well. The taste was very good. Everyone in my family liked it. I have decided that I should make it often. Thank you for sharing a healthy recipe.
Thanks Aarthi, for a very tasty and healthy recipe. I really enjoyed it!
