hi kavi...

One of our frnd(IL) ... who is underdieting... uses this horse gram a lot.. even she used to tell this... Thnx for the info... sure it will help for the person who wanna loose weight...

Hi Kavi

How are you . have been busy :))
Thanks for the info

Dear Friends

Kollu / Horsegram not only helps to reduce weight but also helps to prevent bad Cholestrol in our body

Just soak horsegram in water for some hours ( or soak while going to bed) and pressure cook it with little salt while you prepare your rice

You can use that like any other dhal for preparing rasam or

prepare that as sundal ( regular method )

or jus mix that with your veg salad and eat

or jus roast it without oil in fry pan and prepare like all other chutney / thogayal

You can also prepare horsegram powder ( kollu podi) and mix it with rice and eat

Iam not telling this simply for you people, iam preparing it daily and my DH';S cholestrol level have come down

( dont ask me whether i have reduced my weight, for weight reduction along with diet recipes we have to exercise for minimum 30 mts daily)

wow latha u have nice info regarding kollu.... thnx for the information... i can pass it to my frnds... coz i already did dieting and succeed in my weight loss...

Dear Kavi & all,
i bought that kollu 2 months back,but didn't use that ,my worry is will it creates body heat??? already mine is very heat body....Chitvish has given some recipes using Horsegram...
itz a saying in Tamil "Illaithavannukku Ellu, Peruthavanukku kollu"Big Laugh

Dear Viji,

I have heard my patti telling kollu creates lots of heat in our body.........so we can use it once or twice in a week............

Dear Padma,
thank you very m uch for the reply..

Hello Kavi,
Thanks for the information. Long back i tried this but people started telling it creates body heat so i stopped . May be i can use weekly once or tiwce.
Is it really true Latamurali, any idea
