Ulundhu kanji recipe with step by step pictures and video.This ulunthu kanji is a healthy porridge made with black urad dal and rice as main ingredients.
This is one of the kanji recipes I wanted to give a try since a long time.I got the recipe from a friend as its a staple in their house for lunch atleast once a week.Black urad dal has a lot of health benefits and is very good for bones.We always make ulunthu kali atleast twice a month but this kanji is new to me.But after tasting it I am going to make this as regular in our menu too as I loved it.
As a kid I never liked kali and kanji varieties and as a contrast I am so loving it.Blame it on ageing and ofcourse when you start cooking you are more health conscious I guess. The main reason being you feel more responsible for your family’s good health and look for more nutritious and healthy food.
This ulunthan kanji is
- nutritious
- tasty
- healthy
- boosts energy etc.
You can make this either for breakfast or lunch.Do try this healthy kanji and enjoy!

Notes
- I used whole black urad dal but you can use split ones too.
- You can use white urad dal also but the one with skin(black urad dal) has more health benefits packed.So I recommend using black urad dal either whole or split.
