Kollu Thogayal and Kollu Rasam, seems to be a lot of Kollu for one day :-). But believe me this is one awesome lunch you could make and enjoy it too. This is a sort of 2 in 1 recipe. We are going to use the cooked kollu for Thogayal and we are going to use the cooked kollu water to make Rasam.

What is Kollu?

Kollu is called “Horsegram” in English. In traditional Ayurvedic cuisine, horse gram is considered a food with medicinal qualities. It is rich in protein and very less in fat. The cooked Kollu is not so tasty like other legumes. Thats the reason it was being very underutilized.  It is gaining popular nowadays because people are finding ways to include more healthier ingredients in their diet and stay fit.

Does Horsegram helps to lose weight?

Yes, as per the experts and nutrients it does helps in staying fit. The main reason is that the Kollu provides adequate nutrients to the body. Here are the 5 reasons how Horsegram helps to stay fit

  1. Low in fat : This pulse is low in fat but high in carbohydrates that makes us feel full even eating very little amount of Kollu
  2. High in Calcium, Iron and Protein: This is one of the pulse that has highest calcium content and also very rich vegetarian source of protein.

How to make better tasting Kollu Thogayal and Kollu Rasam ?

  1. Selecting Ingredients: As mentioned earlier, Cooked Kollu tastes little bland. To make it more interesting, we fry dals, onion, tomato and grind it with cooked Kollu to a coarse paste.
  2. Cooked Kollu Water: The water we add to cook Kollu is so nutritious and we don’t need to discard. We can use the cooked Kollu water to make Kollu Rasam
  3. Combine Thogayal and Rasam – I prefer to mix thogayal with hot rice and also add rasam. This tastes much better than consuming thogayal and rasam separately.
  4. Variations in Kollu Rasam: We can even take 2 tablespoon of cooked kollu and grind it along with pepper, cloves, jeera and add it to rasam. This ensure more kollu flavor to the rasam
  5. Other Recipes we can make: Instead of Rasam we can make Kollu Soup. Also instead of making thogayal, we can make Kollu Sundal with cooked Kollu
