Since the time I heard of the benefits of horsegram i have been trying to google on how to make various dish using horsegram or known as Kudith dal in Southern India. It is one dal that is recommended for kidney stone patients who are advised to drink water in which the dal powder is boiled.
It has benefits such as:
1. keeps body warm during winter
2. aids in reducing excess body weight
3. used in treating kidney stones
4. treats peptic ulcer
5. ayurveda uses it in treatments of rheumatism, worms, piles and even menstrual problems in women
The one recipe i knew was to boil, mash and make a simple curry with onion and tomatoes. However i finally made idlis with the dal.
The batter is the usual idli batter which you can find on google very easily. The batter was fermented overnight and the horsegram [1/2 cup for 2 cups of rice used to make idli batter] was soaked in another container.In the morning the dal was drained and ground to a fine paste and added to the idli batter.
The batter was steamed in an idli stand and yummy idlis were the outcome.
