In this cold weather, the body needs something to keep warm. Horse gram is one legume that has much medicinal value. It gives warmth to our bodies. It is widely used in South Indian cuisine.

Here I give you a simple stir fry, which you can have as an accompaniment for rice or as a snack like I do.

How to make Kollu Sundal/Horse gram stir fry

The main thing to remember is to wash horse gram thoroughly and remove stones and impurities. Then pressure cook it and temper. I love to add lots of grated coconuts.
