Ulunthu kali/Black gram Porridge/Ulunthangali/Urad dhal kali

ulunthu kali

This is the healthy food suggest by our grand mother for women and especially for the young girl those who entered into there adulthood.

Ingredients:

Black urad dhal(splited)	½ cup
Raw rice/pacharisi	¼ cup
Fenugreek seed	¼ tea spoon
Black jaggery/brown sugar/karupatti	1 cup (or more, grated)
Gingelly oil/ghee	4 table spoon
Water	4 cup

How to prepare ulunthu kali:

• Grind the Black urad dhal, raw rice and fenugreek seed together into fine powder.
• Dissolve the brown sugar in one cup of water and filter it. (The water may be at room temperature or warm)
• Now add the remaining 3 cups of water with this jaggery water. Add the grinded powder little by little with the water and dissolve with hand without any lumps.
• In a pan add the gingelly oil/ghee and add the above dissolved mixture and stir it continuously till it reaches the semi-solid state.

Tips:

• This will absorb the sweetness so add more karupatti according to your taste.
• You can also add the jaggery instead of karupatti, but it wont give the taste of kali as our grandma prepared for as.
