Ingredients

  • 1 cup kollu / horsegram
  • 2 teaspoon sundal podi
  • 3 tablespoon coconut grated
  • salt to taste
  • water as needed

To temper:

  • 3 teaspoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 red chillies
  • 1 small sprig of curry leaves

*You can replace sundal podi with idli milagai podi too

Instructions

  • Soak kollu overnight or at least 6-8 hours.
  • Pressure cook with enough water(water till immersing level) for 5 whistles in low medium flame. You can either drain water or use it for rasam.
  • Heat oil in a pan - add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter.
  • Then add cooked kollu toss it well. Add sundal podi.
  • Add grated coconut, toss it well and cook for 2mins and switch off. Kollu Sundal ready!

Notes

  • Soaking kollu – Soak overnight or at least 6-8 hours. Don’t skip soaking, it makes cooking faster.
  • Cooking kollu – I pressure cooked for 5 whistles in low-medium flame. If cookingin open pan, it takes more time and you need more water.
  • Adding coconut – Always toss freshly grated coconut at the end. It adds soft texture and sweetness. You can also lightly roast coconut for more flavor.
  • Spice variations – Sundal podi gives mild spiciness and aroma. Use idli milagai podi for hotter sundal. You can even mix both for a different flavor.
  • Oil choice – Neutral oil is fine, but gingelly oil gives traditional South Indian taste. Don’t add too much, just enough for tempering.
