Ulundhu kali is south Indian delight which is high in protein,low in fat and very good for women which helps to strengthen hip bones. One of the most healthy dishes given especially to girls. Its traditionally eaten with jaggery and gingelly oil. Especially when a girl reaches her puberty age, this is one such nutritional rich laddo that will be tasty as well as so healthy that gives her enough strength to manage her rest of her days especially during the period days as well as during pregnancy.
Women need more strength in her in every stage of her life. Starting from the first periods, during pregnancy, menopause and what not... Women has always been expected to have superpower to manage everything in her life. Most of the time, we are putting our health as the least priority and put the rest of our responsibly as top priority. Thats why I feel God has given us more strength, stamina and courage. To keep what's good in us, we need to eat healthy, stay fit and be positive.
Our ancestors have found out many healthy recipes that keeps us healthy. Till our previous generations, we just followed what has been passed on to us from our older generations. But now, our children, the current and future generations, always question about everything. The first thing they ask if we try to say anything is "Why?". I know asking "Why", is healthy, but for some things, we don't have answers as we blindly follow what's passed on to us. We should educate ourselves and pass on these healthy recipes to the next generation and make them understand, eating healthy is the easiest way to stay healthy and fit.
Urad Dal Benefits
Urad dal has more health benefits. Our older generations have used urad dal in any possible ways to make it part of our regular diet. We use Urad dal and make Idli/Dosa, Vada. Even in very small quantities as part of the tempering process, Urad dal will be an integral part of the South Indian Kitchen. My grandma used to make this Ulundu kali (Uluthangkali) as an evening snack. She makes a small gooseberry size ball out of this kali and gave it to us. I guess those days are just keeping me more healthier in this genetically modified food world.
