Kollu kurma

Description

Horse gram is called kollu in tamil. It will help to reduce fat from the body. Horse gram is an excellent source of iron. This kurma goes well with rice & dosa.
Ingredients-1
½ cup Kollu
2 T Fried gram(pottu kadalai)
¼ cup Coconut (grated)
2 nos Onion
½ bunch Coriander leaves
3 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
Salt (as per taste)
1 T Oil
2 nos Tomato
Ingredients-2
6 nos Red chilly
½ tsp Coriander seeds
1 tsp Cummin
¼ cup Curry leaves

Instructions

Soak & sprout horse gram. Cook horse gram up to 3 whistles, keep aside, Add 1T oil into a pan & fry the items from table2 and grind it with coconut, fried gram & litlle coriander leaves, next sauté onion and tomato separately and grind. Add remaining oil into a pan, sauté 1 chopped onion till golden color, then add grinded paste, onion paste, tomato paste and kashmiri chilli pdr & salt, stir it continuously upto a while,

now add sprouted kollu and mix it well, finally add chopped coriander, then switch off the stove.

Notes

If u sauté & grind onion, tomato, separately taste will increase. kashmiri chilli pdr is less spicy and it gives good color to the gravy. Here i din’t add any gram masala. can reduce tomato up to their own taste .
