Hope you all had a wonderful Diwali celebration. We too had a great Diwali and after having all the sweets and oily food for the past few days, we started craving for a simple food and suddenly I thought about this Kollu podi and made the same today. I have heard that Kollu | horse gram is recommended for people who want to reduce weight. Also check out our other kollu recipes, Kollu rasam, Kollu thogayal, Kollu kara chutney, Horsegram paratha, and Kollu kuzhambu
Heat a pan and add oil to this. Roast the horse gram | kollu and toor dal to this and nicely roast it without getting burnt.
Keep it aside and roast the red chilies, garlic (if using), black pepper, and asafoetida on a medium-low flame.
In the last add salt and switch off the flame.
Combine the roasted kollu and spice mixture. Allow them to cool completely. Grind it into a fine powder using a mixer.
When done allow the podi to get cool by spreading this on a plate. After 15 minutes, using a clean dry spoon transfer it to a dry container and store it.
Notes Notes:1. This can be mixed with hot rice along with a few drops of sesame oil. 2. Even you can have this with Idli | Dosa too instead of milagai podi. 3. Kollu podi | Horsegram podi can be stored in a clean airtight dry jar for 1-2 months.
