Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

Dear Lathz, you can just sprinkle cheeze on top and omit the bread crumbs.
I followed the recipe given by my niece from US.
Infact I regretted for using the breadcrumbs.:banghead:
it is best eaten while still hot.
Try it out Lathz. Thanks. Kugan98

Hi Kugan,

I hope all r fine in ur family.....Kugan i need a small help from u...I heard that Horse gram(Kollu) is used to reduce the fat in our body....Now i am staying away from my family and working.Can u post me the recipe for Kollu podi which can be taken daily. Or u can suugest me the ways to take kollu without cooking or much preparation...
Thanks in Advance!!!!

bkarthika, thanks for your nice mail. Sorry to hear that you are staying far away from your family. I am sure you will miss them very much.

As for kollu recipes, I think I have posted many recipes using kollu.
You can use kollu instead of dal, for all your preparations.
Rasam, sundal, poriyal, kadayal, thogayal, podi and so on.
The only problem is kollu takes a long time to cook.
I have also heard that kollu is very heaty.

Anyway I will give you a simple recipe for kollu podi, which you,
can take with idli, dosai or even with rice.

KOLLU PODI

Ingredients:
100 grms kollu
25 grms toor dal ( optional )
5 dried chillies
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
a pinch of asafoetida powder
1 pip garlic
salt to taste
few drops of oil.

Method:
heat oil in a frying pan, roast the dals first.
then add in the chillies, and cumin seeds and asafoetida powder.
lastly add in the garlic. remove.
cool and grind along with the required amount of salt.
cool and store in an airtight bottle.

bkarthika, I remember reading this somewhere. I do not know how far this is true.
So please, just read for information only.:confused2:


.Ayurvedic Weight Loss Remedy

In ayurvedic medicine horse gram, or kollu podi, can be made into a weight loss preparation that can be drunk in the morning and evening. To prepare, mix one tablespoon of kollu podi powder with one tablespoon of ground cumin seed. Boil these two powders in four glasses of water, and drink one glass on an empty stomach every morning and evening. Anyone who is pregnant or breast feeding would be wise to seek professional advice before using kollu podi for weight loss.


Horse Gram and Kollu Podi Health Benefits

Horse gram can be eaten in much the same way you would prepare are dal. You can soak the beans overnight and cook on the stove or in a pressure cooker and serve with rice. The cooking time is slightly longer than other beans. Horse gram can also be added to vegetables, stews or salads. Horse gram also comes in powder form, called kollu podi, which can be added to soups and stews. . However, having said that, horse gram is an excellent source of protein and contains very good levels of the minerals molybdenum and iron. It is also a naturally good source of vitamins and amino acids.
