Sprouted Horsegram or kulthi Dhal Curry / Kollu Mulaikatiya Kuzhambu

This is my Mom's special and healthy curry. In our family all of us are fan's for this curry because the flavour of coconut and kollu both combined gives an extraordinary taste for this curry. I would like to share this curry to all my readers.

Ingredients:

1. Sprouted horsegram - 1 cup
2. Shallots - 10 nos
3. Tomato - 1 no
4. Coconut Chopped - 1/2 cup
5. Coconut grated - 1/2 Cup 
6. Dried Red Chilli - 3 nos
7. Sambar powder - 2 tsp
8. Curry Leaves - 1sprig
9. Coriander leaves - Optional

Cooking Method:


Soak Horse gram for atleast 8 hours. Drain the excess water and keep in it in a closed vessel over night. (I drained the water using juice filter and kept the horse gram as such overnight by closing the filter) The next morning you can notice sprouts in horse gram.

(The next morning I noticed the sprout came out through the holes. It was wonderful and amazing for me to see the sprouts in juice filter the next day)

Chop the shallots and tomato. Chop the Coconut as shown below. 

In a pressure cooker add oil followed by shallots, tomato, red chilli, chopped coconut, curry leaves one by one and saute for few mins. 
Next add Sambar powder and mix well.

Now add the sprouted horse gram and saute for some time. Now add enough water to cook the sprout. close the lid and give 7 to 10 Whistles.  

Now the sprout has cooked well. Separate only the sprout without coconut and keep in a plate.

• In a mixer grinder add the grated coconut and the sprout which has kept separately.  
• Grind both to a smooth paste. Add this grounded paste to the cooked sprouted curry. 
• Let it cook for 5 mins. If the curry is too thick you can add some water too. 
• Now switch off the flame and add coriander leaves. 

Now the sprouted horse gram curry is absolutely ready with a coconut flavour to have with Rice. Have a nice meal.

Notes:

• I used home made sambar powder. so this curry turned with utmost flavour.
• I am not sure with store bought sambar powder. You can substitute with red chilli powder, coriander powder and jeera powder instead of sambar powder.
