Guys, iniku enga paati taught me now to make Kollu parrupu Kolambu ( Horse gram kolalambu)
I would like to share the recipe with you all as well. This kolambu is very nutritious and is definitely a nice one to have during chilly days... Kara sarama nalla irukum. Also patti suggests that if you have this kolambu during days when u r sneezing and coughing, it acts like a medicine. Sapadu dan marundhu

Kollu paruppu kolambu
Ingredients
Horse gram -1/4 cup
Sambhar onions - 20
Coriander leaves - 1/4 of a bunch
Red chillies - 2
Curry leaves - 3 leaves

Jeera - 1 tsp
Pepper cprns- 2 tsp
garlic pods - 3 -4
Sambhar powder - 1small tsp

Seasoning
nallennai - 2tbsp
kadugu - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - few


Method
1) In a cooker, add a tsp of oil, horsegram and salt and pressure cook it until 3-4 whistles. Dont throw away the water as it can be used for the kolambu and for kollu rasam as
well.
2)Meanwhile, take a kadai and add 2 tsp of oil, sambar onions, coriander leaves and fry well until the raw smell goes away
3)Add red chillies, jeera, pepper corns, garlic and fry for some more time. When the garlic and jeera turns its colour to light brown, switch off the gas and let it cool down
4)Remove the kollu from the pressure cooker and extract the water using the filter.
5)Grind together the horse gram and the fried mixture from 2) and 3) along with the water that we preserved from the pressure cooker
6)Grind to a Smooth paste and transfer the contents to a kadai and add sambhar powder.
7)Add more water and let the kolambu boil for few minutes
8)Season the kolambu by heating nallennai, kadugu until it splutters and curry leaves.

Note: The kolambu might be a bit spicy as we have added pepper, red chillies and sambhar powder. So do not forget to add nallenai while u serve.

they give me recipes to try
Thanks Selviem, take care, Kugan.

Thanks Dev, for your comments and the link.
I have not tried with veges, let me try and see.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

Dev, how did I overlook Suvai's request?
You know we make similar curry with pithukku motchai.
Only thing is that we do not use rice flour as thickening.

Another dish that we cook is potato preattal with pithukku motchai.
Lastly, we just use the pithukku motchai and make a preattal on it's own.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

NOV anneh nice to see your post in Kugan's Kitchen.
NOV anneh do not pull my legs, I know what a super cook you are.
Of course you can add thin strips of chicken, while sauteeing the veges,
or add cooked pieces of chicken. Egg too as you please.
Thanks and take care, Kugan
