Horsegram / Kollu / Kulthi Dal Dosa Recipe

Horse gram is the most protein-rich lentil found on the planet. It is very high-powered. That’s why race horses are fed with this gram, which is called horse gram in the market.

Have heard of Kollu Paruppu, Kollu Kuzhambu, Kollu sundal and other recipes, its somewhat strange hearing Kollu Dosa Recipe ..... Yes for me too before preparing this Dosa ... We can make even Dosas using this Kulthi Dhal :). Children refuse to have Horse gram in any form, If we make Dosas in this Kulthi Dhal, they could not find whats inside in it and simply have it as plain dosas, However we need to include almost all the pulses in our regular food routine and provide healthy recipes to our family and kids, we are in a position to include Horse gram also as it is a very healthy Pulse.  

This is a simple and easy Dosa recipe. Those who want to taste variety of dosa recipes this recipe will be a good choice to include in the Breakfast or Dinner Menu. As soon as the batter is prepared you can make dosas, no need for overnight fermentation. This Dosa tastes good with any spicy chutney - flavoured Tomato Chutney or simply coconut chutney. 

Health Benefits of Horse gram :

High in iron, calcium, and protein. In fact, horse gram has the highest calcium content among pulses and is one of the richest vegetarian sources of protein
