Eventhough Kollu based recipes are very traditional and prepared
by all, especially in kongu region, I
want to share a simple tip on how to cook the Kollu very soft as this is a very
essential.
Recipe Cuisine : South Indian | Recipe Category: Kitchen Basics

Ingredients:
Horse

|
½

Procedure:
1. Remove the stones from the
horse gram.
2. Wash the horse gram
thoroughly, 2 – 3 times.
3. Add the horse gram, 2 cups
of water and castor oil in a pressure cooker.
4. Pressure cook the horse gram
for 1 whistle in high flame and keep the flame in medium.
5. Then leave it for 3 more
whistles. After the pressure has gone, check the horse gram. If it is cooked,
then use this for masiyal and rasam.
6. Otherwise,if it is not cooked well then again do the steps
